The Chiefs informed guard Trey Smith this week that they’ll be using their franchise tag on him and we learned on Friday what salary that tag will carry.
The NFL informed teams of the franchise and transition tag values for offensive linemen and every other position. Smith will make $23.402 million if he plays out the season under the terms of the tag, but there’s a long way to go before the July 15 deadline to come to an agreement on a long-term deal.
Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins may also be getting a tag. That tag will carry a salary of $23.959 million.
