00:00The offseason is heating up and we just got some fantastic news about a potential
00:04game-changing free agent target. If you're a Chicago Bears fan, you know the biggest priority
00:08this offseason is protecting Caleb Williams. And guess what? A top offensive lineman could
00:14be hitting the open market and the Bears are in prime position to land him. That's right,
00:18we're talking about Trey Smith, the Kansas City Chiefs' dominant right guard. And folks,
00:24this is a big deal. Smith is a two-time Super Bowl champion, a Pro Bowl caliber talent,
00:31and a guy who didn't allow a single sack last season. Let that sink in. Zero sacks. That's
00:37the kind of protection we need for our new franchise quarterback. Why Trey Smith is likely
00:44hitting free agency. The Chiefs had the option to franchise tag Smith, but it looks like they won't.
00:49According to reports, the franchise tag for offensive linemen would cost around $25.16
00:55million and the Chiefs are already over the cap by $2.6 million. That means Smith is likely heading
01:00to free agency and the Bears are in a perfect position to swoop in. For Kansas City, the cap
01:06situation is a big issue. They need to make tough decisions and letting go of Smith might be one of
01:11them. They have other key players to re-sign and keeping their star guard might not be financially
01:16feasible. The Bears, on the other hand, have one of the healthiest cap situations in the league.
01:21They're in a position to make aggressive moves in free agency and Smith should be at the top
01:26of their wish list. Why Trey Smith is a perfect fit for the Bears. Chicago has over $73 million
01:34in cap space. That's enough to make a strong offer for Smith and still have room to add more talent.
01:40The Bears need help on the interior offensive line and Smith is a perfect fit. He's young,
01:46experienced, and already has a winning pedigree. Plus, Ryan Poles, who was part of the Chiefs front
01:52office when they drafted Smith, knows exactly what he brings to the table. That connection
01:58could be a huge advantage in getting a deal done. But that's not all. There's another factor that
02:05could work in the Bears' favor. Darnell Wright, the Bears' young Wright tackle, played with Smith
02:11at Tennessee. These guys already have chemistry and reuniting them in Chicago could be a game
02:17changer for the offensive line. Imagine a right side with Smith and Wright locking it down for
02:22the next five to ten years. That's elite protection for Caleb William. Trey Smith's strengths and
02:28skill set. Now, let's look at what Smith brings to the field. He's a mauler in the run game. The
02:33Bears want to establish a strong ground attack and Smith's physicality fits perfectly. He moves
02:38defenders, creates lanes, and plays with a nasty edge. He's also elite in pass protection, which is
02:44exactly what we need with a young quarterback under center. Smith also has exceptional technique.
02:50He uses his hands well, maintains great balance, and rarely gets beaten by power rushers.
02:55That's a crucial skill when facing some of the best defensive linemen in the league. His
02:59combination of strength, technique, and football IQ makes him one of the best interior linemen
03:05available this offseason. Let's not forget the leadership aspect. Smith has been a key piece in
03:11Kansas City's back-to-back Super Bowl runs. Bringing that experience to Chicago would be
03:16invaluable for a young team looking to take the next step. He's been in high pressure situations,
03:23he knows what it takes to win, and that mentality is contagious. Smith also brings durability to the
03:30table. Since entering the league, he's been a consistent presence on the field, rarely missing
03:34time due to injury. For a Bears team that has struggled with O-line injuries in recent years,
03:39that's a huge bonus. Availability is just as important as ability, and Smith has both.
03:45How Smith would fit in Chicago's scheme. Under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, the Bears are
03:51expected to run a balanced attack that blends quick passing with a strong running game. Smith
03:56thrives in these types of schemes. He has the agility to pull and block on the move, the strength
04:02to dominate in power run situations, and the technique to handle interior pass rushers one-on-one.
04:08Pairing Smith with a young, mobile quarterback like Caleb Williams could be a perfect match.
04:13Williams has the ability to extend plays, but he still needs a solid interior line to keep him
04:18clean. With Smith at right guard, Williams would have the confidence to step up in the pocket and
04:23make accurate throws downfield. What the Bears offensive line could look like. If the Bears land
04:30Smith, their offensive line could look something like this. Left tackle, Braxton Jones, or a
04:36potential upgrade via draft or free agency. Left guard, Tevin Jenkins. Center, potential free agent
04:43or draft pick. Right guard, Trey Smith. Right tackle, Darno Wright. That's a strong, young
04:51core that could develop into one of the best units in the NFL, and with the right coaching and
04:55continuity, this group could provide the stability that Chicago's offense desperately needs.
05:01Competition for Smith and free agency. Of course, the Bears won't be the only team interested in
05:06Smith. Several other teams with offensive line needs and cap space could make a run at him. The
05:12New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Tennessee Titans are just a few teams that could be in the
05:17mix. However, Chicago has key advantages. First, the financial flexibility to offer Smith a strong
05:24contract. Second, the connection with Ryan Poles. Third, the opportunity to play alongside Darno
05:30Wright again. Fourth, a team that is on the rise with a young, promising quarterback.
05:36It's going to come down to the right offer and the best situation for Smith, but Chicago checks a lot
05:41of boxes. The bigger picture for the Bears offseason. While Smith would be a massive addition, the Bears
05:47still have other areas to address. Wide receiver help, D.J. Moore, is a true number one, but the
05:53Bears could use another dynamic weapon. Could they target someone like T. Higgins or draft a top WR?
06:00Edge rusher. The Bears need a dominant pass rusher to pair with Montez Sweat.
06:05Cornerback down. Jalon Johnson is a star, but depth is always important. Center position. A veteran,
06:11free agent, or a high draft pick could be the answer. Adding Trey Smith would solidify the O-line
06:17and allow the Bears to focus on other needs. Bears fans, this could be the move that changes
06:22everything. Trey Smith is an elite talent, and Chicago has a real shot to land him. Protecting
06:28Caleb Williams has to be the number one priority, and Smith would be a cornerstone piece for years
06:33to come. We'll keep an eye on free agency as things develop, but this is shaping up to be an exciting
06:39offseason. What do you think, Bears fans? Should Ryan Poles go all in on Trey Smith? Drop your
06:45thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more Bears updates. Let's get
