The Kansas City Chiefs need to improve their offensive line this offseason. They also have to resign their top lineman to a new deal. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes needs to be protected.

It was reported that Travis Kelce will return in 2025 and that the Chiefs will place the franchise tag on Trey Smith. Here are the financial implications.

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.
