Former Tennessee Volunteer, Trey Smith has been a long-standing member of the Kansas City Chiefs since entering the league. Reports and rumors are surfacing that he will be testing free agency.

Former Tennessee Volunteers Trey Smith was everything and more that he was expected to be entering the University of Tennessee. The Jackson, Tennessee native was the No. 1 overall player in the state, and No. 5 player overall. He was a three-time All-SEC player and it was almost a certainty that he would be a high-round pick on his way to his now Super Bowl Championship NFL Career.

Though Smith fell to the 6th round due to a medical condition. During Smith's sophomore year at Tennessee, doctors found a pulminary emplolism in his lungs, something that created concern during the draft process. After four years with the Chiefs, Smith and the team that gave him a chance despite the concerns are in yet another AFC Championship Game against the Bills this weekend.

Reports have surfaced that following the conclusion of Smith's 3rd Super Bowl ring, he will be actively pursuing free agency. After all, 6th round picks that have turned into Pro Bowlers, probably will have an expansive Free Agency market.
