Trey Smith’s reign as the NFL’s highest-paid guard didn’t last long.
Two months after the Kansas City Chiefs rewarded Smith with a four-year, $94 million extension that reset the market at an average of $23.5 million per year, the Dallas Cowboys catapulted Tyler Smith to the top of that list with a four-year, $96 million contract averaging $24 million annually.
Tyler Smith's deal also came with a massive $81.2 million in guarantees, which edged past Kansas City’s generosity to Trey Smith as well. Not that either player will care much about the pecking order, given the generational wealth involved for everyone.
