The Kansas City Chiefs have a decision to make regarding the future of starting right guard Trey Smith. According to a recent report from The Athletic's Nate Taylor, the Chiefs are not expected to use the franchise or transition tag on Smith (or any pending free agent).

"The Chiefs are not expected to place the franchise tag or the transition tag on Smith, according to a league source," Taylor wrote. "Instead, the Chiefs should do their best to keep one of their best players by offering Smith a four- or five-year contract."
