What is Trey smith worth in trade value? Part of me would rather trade Trey than give up any draft picks. Is that a bad idea? Can Wanya Morris play RG if we were to trade Trey smith?
Paying smith $23.4 M seems like a lot? Here’s an article. I wonder what Trey is worth in a trade? I whiffed on Sneads value. I thought he’d be worth a 2nd rounder.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Friday they're placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith.
That means Smith's contract must be no less than either the average of the top five cap hits at that player's position or 120% of the player's salary the previous season, whichever is greater. Unlike the exclusive tag, however, Smith is allowed to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet, which the Chiefs have the chance to match. If they chooses not to, they're entitled to receive draft compensation equivalent to two first-round draft picks from the signing team.
The 25-year-old Smith would make $23.4 million if he stays with the Chiefs on the franchise tag, which would make him the highest paid guard in the league.
The franchise tags are used by teams to keep players from leaving in free agency. Although the Chiefs still want to sign a long-term deal with Smith, per multiple reports, the tag allows them a short-term solution.
A four-year veteran out of Tennessee, Smith has established himself as one of the best linemen in the league. With his rookie contract expiring, Smith was one of the top free agents this offseason before Kansas City pulled him back in.

Apparently it would only cost our late 3rd in terms of the value chart? If so, I'd be all over it for the right player (Walter Nolen I'm looking at you!).
