With Trey Smith set to become arguably the top free agent on the market, the Chiefs locked him up with the franchise tag.

NFL Network host Gregg Rosenthal ranked the top 101 free agents, and seven Chiefs are on the list. That includes six Chiefs among the top 61. Here is what Rosenthal wrote about all seven.

Trey Smith was informed he will be franchise-tagged by the Chiefs, according to multiple reports, in a move that will make him the NFL's highest-paid guard while blocking a path to free agency. NFL teams have until Monday to use the franchise and transition tag designations to retain players scheduled to become free agents next month.
