V. The Kansas City Chiefs Prioritize Long-Term Deal for Trey Smith to Protect Mahomes and Anchor the O-Line

The Kansas City Chiefs are wasting no time in reinforcing the foundation of their dynasty: the offensive line. As star quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to be the cornerstone of the franchise, the team is placing a high priority on locking in one of its most dependable protectors—offensive guard Trey Smith—to a long-term deal.

Currently playing under the franchise tag, Smith has been a key figure on the Chiefs’ offensive line since being drafted in 2021. Known for his raw strength, gritty play style, and unshakable toughness, the former sixth-round pick quickly became a starter and never looked back. He’s started nearly every game since entering the league, helping Kansas City capture multiple Super Bowl appearances and titles along the way.

General Manager Brett Veach recently confirmed that the front office is actively working toward a multi-year extension for Smith. “Trey’s been a huge part of our identity up front,” Veach said. “He’s the kind of player you build around—not just because of his talent, but his character and toughness.”

Locking up Smith would not only solidify the interior of the line for years to come, but it would also give Mahomes continued peace of mind in the pocket. With Joe Thuney recovering from injury and young linemen like Creed Humphrey and rookie Josh Simmons stepping up, Smith serves as both a physical and emotional anchor for the unit.

The urgency to get a deal done is also about timing and long-term vision. Smith, 25, is in his prime and has proven he can handle elite-level defensive linemen week in and week out. While the franchise tag provides a short-term solution, it’s clear the Chiefs want to avoid uncertainty heading into future seasons.

A long-term contract would also be a sign of continuity in a locker room that has embraced a “team-first” mentality. With high-profile deals already given to Mahomes, Chris Jones, and Travis Kelce, extending Smith shows the Chiefs’ commitment to protecting their biggest investment—Mahomes—for the long haul.

If a deal is reached in the coming weeks, Smith would become one of the highest-paid guards in the league, a well-deserved reward for a player who has outperformed his draft status and become a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ offensive success.

As Kansas City looks to defend its AFC crown and chase another Lombardi Trophy, securing Trey Smith’s future isn’t just a smart move—it’s essential
