Kansas City Chiefs And Pro Bowl Guard Trey Smith Reached New Agreement
We already know how busy the New York Jets have been with signing their players this week. But another team has said hold on, not so fast! The team currently has one of the best quarterbacks in the league and they have made a move to keep him protected. Which is why the Kansas City Chiefs and Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith have reached a new agreement. The two sides were able to reach a deal just before today’s franchise-tag deadline.
The Chiefs announced their contract agreement with Smith but did not disclose terms. However, additional information was posted by Adam Schefter who wrote:
“Pro-Bowl guard Trey Smith and the Chiefs reached agreement just ahead of today’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, ESPN’s sources tell me and @ByNateTaylor . 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.”
“Highest guarantees given to a guard:
G Trey Smith $70 million
G Robert Hunt $63M
G Chris Lindstrom $62.7M”
With the Humphrey and now Smith signings, the Chiefs are the only team to pay multiple interior offensive linemen at least $50 million guaranteed. So huge NFL paydays continue to be handed out this week as multiple players have secured their bags. However, it wasn’t all rainbows and roses prior to the Chiefs getting the deal done with Smith. He was one of two players to receive the franchise tag this year. The other was wide receiver Tee Higgins who scored his own long-term contract this past March with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Naturally, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was happy to hear about the signing and posted a smiley face on his x.com account. And he should be happy because Smith, who is known for his athleticism and tenacity, has started 80 of 81 games, including the Chiefs’ past four postseason runs. Durability and availability are always highly sought after qualities in football. And since being drafted by the Chiefs in the sixth-round of the 2021 NFL Draft, he has been one of their most dependable players.
Smith is also excited about getting the deal done saying, “What’s going on Chiefs Kingdom? Got the deal done, really excited to be back for four more years. Can’t tell you how much of a blessing and how grateful I am for it. I want to live up to it.”
Congratulations to Trey Smith on his contract!
