Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs reached agreement ahead of Tuesday's franchise-tag deadline on a four-year, $94 million deal that includes $70 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid guard in NFL history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Nate Taylor.
It's the highest average annual salary and the most guaranteed money ever awarded to an NFL guard.
With Trey Smith and Creed Humphrey, the Chiefs now have the NFL's highest-paid guard and center. Humphrey's deal included $50.3 million guaranteed.
Smith, 26, joined the Chiefs as a sixth-round draft pick in 2021 out of Tennessee.
