The Kansas City Chiefs have informed Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith that he will use the franchise tag on him, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Thursday.

The deadline for teams to use the franchise tag is Monday at 4 p.m. ET.

The Chiefs and Smith will have until July 15 to agree to a long-term contract. If no deal is reached by that date, Smith will play the 2025 season on his franchise tender.

Smith, 25, joined the Chiefs as a sixth-round draft pick in 2021 out of Tennessee.
