I think they want to get a good look at Kingsley first.

Could be he is waiting for camp to be almost over before signing.

Yup. Veach said as much in his presser. If we haven't signed Smith after OTAs, then we'll know the Chiefs are comfortable with Morris/Kingsley/Taylor as tackles. Don't sleep on the possibility of Taylor at LT and Kingsley at RT.

It surprises me that KC would've traded up 10 or so spots for a guy who has never played LT, and who has injury issues. They obviously know what they are doing, but that seems like it would be a riskier-than-usual trade up.

I read that our cap space is about 15 million, so we should have enough to sign both Smith [about 3 million cap if it’s like last year) and Jones (about 4 million cap if it’s like OBJ contract with Miami].
I don’t think Smith will want to sign until after camp, so that probably explains the delay. And no matter how well Kingsley and Morris do at camp I still think we need Insurance and Smith. |

Why would Donovan Smith want to come back?
He isn't coming back without basically being guaranteed the starter spot and if you do that why are you drafting OT's? It to mean seems like he's only coming back if he legit has no offers and he's fine being a backup if he gets beaten out. |

FWIW Grunny has always been pretty close to the vibe with the Chiefs. He doesn’t break news but he definitely knows when the Chiefs feel a certain way about a situation.
He was very direct that he didn’t think Donovan Smith was coming back and the Chiefs want to have Wanya and Kingsley battle for LT. |
