Now Smith is no longer an option for Minnesota. The Chiefs seem committed to keeping him, but even if they were to consider a tag-and-trade move like they pulled off with cornerback L'Jarius Sneed last offseason, the Vikings don't have the draft capital to make that a realistic possibility.

The Chiefs plan to place the franchise tag on Smith this offseason, NFL.com reports. Smith was expected to be the top guard available in free agency this offseason, but the Chiefs will instead retain a key to their offensive line.
