00:00I know we're more than a month away from free agency,
00:02but you do have an enticing item and you talked to some people
00:05about whether Trey Smith, who once was thought to be a guy,
00:08the Chiefs guard, that would not get to free agency,
00:12they would not let him do that, might become more available,
00:15might be on the open market, and if he is, obviously,
00:18he becomes somebody the Bears would be very interested in.
00:22Yeah, I think the Bears and a lot of teams
00:25would have considerable interest in Trey Smith.
00:29Kansas City's got a really good problem to have.
00:31They've got a host of young players that need to be paid
00:35and might not be able to get it done with all of them.
00:39It's still possible.
00:41No one's sure which way this thing's going to go.
00:44You know, I talked to one GM, and he's like,
00:47yeah, it's possible it could get to the market.
00:49He said that the $20 million guard scares some teams.
00:54Like, some teams don't want to go that high
00:58for an interior offensive lineman,
01:00and you can understand why.
01:04If Trey Smith makes it to market,
01:06you're talking about a guy at the top of his game,
01:10entering the prime of his career with a clean injury history.
01:14You're going to have no shortage of teams
01:17with a lot of cap space interested in talking to him.
01:24Like, it's really easy to play connected
01:26bats between the Bears and Trey Smith
01:28if, indeed, he gets to free agency.
01:32There's going to be other teams
01:33that are going to be in the mix there for him,
01:37and one thing to keep in mind is the Chiefs
01:40weren't particularly driven
01:42to keep cornerback Algeria Snead at last March,
01:48and they executed a tag-and-trade with him,
01:51used the franchise tag on him,
01:53and then came up with a trade with the Tennessee Titans
01:58that involved a third-round pick in this year's draft,
02:02I believe, and I think they swapped
02:04seventh-round picks as well.
02:06But in that scenario, the Chiefs could have some control
02:11over where Trey Smith was to go
02:14if, indeed, he's not in their future.
