Chiefs "Pretty Optimistic" They Can Keep Trey Smith
2 mins agoKansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said on Tuesday that he's "pretty optimistic" that the team can retain offensive guard Trey Smith, also saying "we've already had some good dialogue on him" and his agency. Smith is headed for free agency next month and should have plenty of suitors if he reaches the open market after performing as a top-15 guard in 2024, per Pro Football Focus. If the Chiefs aren't able to reach an extension to keep Smith in town before he officially becomes a free agent, they could place the franchise tag on him, specifically the transition tag. The 25-year-old was taken in the sixth round by the Chiefs in the 2021 NFL draft out of the University of Tennessee and he's started in all 67 of the games that he's appeared in over his four seasons. Smith made his first Pro Bowl with KC in 2024.
