Report: Chiefs make Smith top-paid guard with 4-year, $94M extension
The Kansas City Chiefs signed franchise-tagged lineman Trey Smith to a contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
It's a four-year, $94-million deal that makes Smith the NFL's highest-paid guard, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The extension reportedly includes $70 million guaranteed.
One of K.C.'s most reliable blockers, Smith started two of the team's Super Bowl wins in the Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid era. The superstar quarterback reacted to Smith's extension on social media.

Smith, 26, has made 67 starts since the Chiefs drafted him in the sixth round in 2021. The Tennessee product allowed just one sack last year and has given up five in the past three seasons, according to PFF.
Kansas City also rosters the league's top-paid center in Creed Humphrey, who signed a four-year, $72-million extension in 2024.
