In a rather surprising turn of events following the 2023 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent offensive tackle Donovan Smith to a one-year deal. Just a couple of months after telling everyone that free agent signing Jawaan Taylor would make the transition to the left side, the team went out and gave Smith a deal that could pay him up to $9 million dollars if he were to start at left tackle.
On Monday, head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Smith would start at left tackle to begin OTAs and Taylor would remain on the right side.
