The Kansas City Chiefs finally extended Trey Smith before the mid-summer deadline, signing him to a four-year extension worth $94 million. The veteran offensive lineman is now the highest-paid guard in the NFL.
While this contract solves one problem for the Chiefs, it’s important to remember the phrase: if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Kansas City still can’t kick its feet up and relax for the 2025 season, because the work is never done in the NFL.
With Smith’s future secure, everyone’s attention is already on Trent McDuffie. The veteran defensive back is next on the list of talented young players who deserve to be paid.
