As fans have been waiting to hear an update regarding Kansas City Chiefs star Trey Smith, they will like the recent news which includes the offensive lineman being franchise tagged by the team according to Jordan Schultz and Ian Rapoport.

The Chiefs have informed Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith that they will use the franchise tag on him, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday. The move will effectively keep Smith off the free agent market.

Barring a tag-and-trade scenario, Trey Smith won't hit free agency. The Chicago Bears will now have to pivot if they want to address this position before the NFL draft.
