The Kansas City Chiefs managed to ink franchise-tagged guard Trey Smith to a four-year extension before Tuesday’s deadline. Rather than playing for $23.4 million on the franchise tag, Smith and the Chiefs agreed to a $94 million pact to make him the highest-paid guard in league history.
Mike Florio of NBC Sports soon reported the contract terms, potentially keeping Smith in Kansas City through 2028.
Smith is now guaranteed to earn $46.75 million over the next two seasons. For the coming season, he will receive a $10 million base salary on top of a $17 million signing bonus.
