In a major move that sends a strong message across the league, Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith has signed a blockbuster four-year, $94 million contract, with $70 million guaranteed, just ahead of today’s 4 p.m. deadline.

With this deal, Smith becomes the highest-paid guard in NFL history, breaking the previous salary benchmark for the position and cementing his place as a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ offensive line.

Smith’s impact has been undeniable since arriving in Kansas City. Known for his physical dominance, relentless motor, and leadership on and off the field, the 25-year-old has become a vital piece in protecting Patrick Mahomes and anchoring the run game. Locking him in long-term brings both performance stability and veteran presence to a line that’s undergone several adjustments heading into the 2025 season.

As the Chiefs gear up for another championship push, securing Trey Smith ensures that one of the league’s most dynamic offenses will continue to have elite protection up front. For Kansas City, this deal isn’t just about numbers — it’s about continuity, power, and trust in a player who has consistently delivered.

Trey Smith is no longer just a rising star — he’s the gold standard for guards in the NFL. 🏆💰💪
