How Travis Kelce could have an impact on the Bears Tag Watch for Trey Smith

It seems that there will be no shortcut in this waiting process of waiting for free will to possibly take a race to The guardian of the chiefs of the city of Kansas Trey Smith.

It is likely that they will have to see everything play.

THE BearThe chiefs and all the other teams have the possibility of putting a franchise or a transitional label on their free agents from 3 p.m. Tuesday, but they can wait until the deadline of March 4 to have it accomplished it .

It seems that Kansas City will immediately put a label on Smith because their salary ceiling situation is or just below the ceiling by a small amount now and also because the amount of the Smith franchise label would push them well.

The amount of the remuneration of the franchise tag for offensive line players is 25.65 million dollars and the amount of the transition beacon is $ 22.74 million, according to Sotracrac.com. The amounts can change slightly if the final salary figure in the league is higher.

One of the possible reasons why it is likely that there will be nothing clear to the chiefs on a label is that they are waiting for return Tightened end Travis Kelce If he intends to play next year or retire. Kelce’s retirement could create a ceiling space of $ 17.3 million reported for chiefs, but it would always make Smith difficult for them because they also have other free agents to sign. And Smith’s agreement should be anywhere 21 million dollars average annual value.

If Kansas City can be under the salary ceiling and puts the franchise tag on Smith, the Chiefs have the right to match the offer of another team. If they do not do so, the Bears or any team signing it to a tender sheet should give the Chiefs two recovery choices in the first round in exchange for the obtaining of Smith.

They would have given Kelce until March 14 To make a decision on retirement, because it is after the start of the two -day free agency, it seems to indicate that they do not appear in tag plans.

They have other ways of recovering money for the free agency and being below the ceiling in addition to withdrawing the Kelce contract from the books for 2025, by restructuring some of their greater contracts. Of course, this would mean that the huge affair of Patrick Mahomes, but it would always be difficult for them to be enough below the ceiling to sign Smith.

If the chiefs can bring the cap space, they could put a cap on Smith and then try to exchange it. Again, they must comply with the salary ceiling to do so.

The Bears will probably have to wait for the deadline of March 4 to know with certainty whether they will have an opportunity or not after Smith, but sometimes the word of these situations flees in advance at the NFL Scouting combines, which is next week.

We expect the Bears will have a competition in their attempted Smith services if he went to the free agency without a label or new chiefs. The key among these could be the Patriotswhich have almost twice as much wage ceiling space as the Bears.

Other teams mentioned in evidence have been Seattle,, Tennessee And Detroit.

Bear should not have free agents to mark this year. Last year, they put the franchise tag on the Jaylon Johnson corner half, but then accepted contract extension conditions giving it $ 76 million over four years.

The teams can officially start to sign free agents on March 12 and start talking to them two days earlier.
