Transition tag would still be north of $22M, but the positive side is it would quickly resolute itself. Basically would just give KC right to match whatever offer Trey accepts.
That isn't the worst idea in the world. You'd probably know the outcome within hours of free agency.
If you get outbid badly on Bolton and Reid both by surprise, you could always hit the Trey Smith button there and pay him (even if it may be an overpay).
