Smith is a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs, and was named to the 2024 Pro Bowl. He is a major piece of Kansas City's offensive line, especially coming off a Super Bowl loss where the O-line's problems were front and center.

NFL offseason is here. While the new league year technically doesn't begin until March 12, which is when signings and trades can become official, the franchise tag window has been open since mid-February.

Similar to last year with pass rusher Chris Jones, GM Brett Veach acknowledged that re-signing Smith, 25, is the team’s top priority.
