Big news is coming out of Kansas City as standout offensive lineman Trey Smith is reportedly close to finalizing a multi-year contract extension with the Chiefs. With the franchise tag deadline looming on July 15, the move would secure one of Patrick Mahomes’ most trusted protectors for the long haul.

Smith, who has quickly become a fan favorite since being drafted in 2021, is known for his toughness, consistency, and leadership on and off the field. Locking him in not only stabilizes the offensive line but also sends a clear message: the Chiefs are serious about protecting their MVP quarterback and maintaining dominance up front.

According to insiders, the deal is expected to be four years and could make Smith one of the highest-paid guards in the league. If finalized, it would be a major offseason win for GM Brett Veach and the entire Red Kingdom.

With Training Camp just days away, Chiefs fans can breathe a little easier knowing a core piece of the offense is staying right where he belongs — in Kansas City.
