CINCINNATI — If the Bengals want to sign the top guard in free agency, they're going to get their chance. Trey Smith isn't expected to be tagged by the Chiefs this offseason, which means he'll become a free agent for the first time in his career. Nate Taylor of The Athletic was the first to report the news.

Super Bowl LIX was not a good night for the Chiefs offensive line and the prospect of improving their protection would look a lot dimmer if right guard Trey Smith is in a different uniform come September.
