The Kansas City Chiefs made an interesting decision in late February to franchise tag Pro Bowl guard, Trey Smith for what became a league record $23.4 million single-year contract. A rare occasion in which the franchise tag makes a player the clear top earner at his position – due to the fact that the salary was based on the top salaries of offensive linemen, not pure guards – the former sixth round pick will still likely desire the security of a long-term deal in the near future. A long-term deal that could, ironically, give him a smaller average per year…

That means that the 10 best players in the state over the…
