We'd be banking on a surplus of $$$ in the system and teams that aren't able to convince good players to take it from them.
So you trade Smith to them and they know they're overpaying by 20% for the player based on his likely market value, but they can't get a player that's at/near pro bowl quality to sign with them for that money anyway.
I don't think he's a must-have guy, but he's probably the best OG that may be available this offseason. There's value in that.

Not sure how the Chiefs can tag him and incure a 25 million cap hit. Your hoping someone will trade for him at a APY over what his market value will be,,,just not seeing it. No one will tip their hand because they are likely waiting until he hits FA's or the Chiefs pull the trigger. Guessing they know they can get him at a lot lower cap hit if he hits FA's. They do not have to waste any resources. It would be a huge gamble to tag him. IT would also mean your out on Free Agents until you trade him if your lucky.
