The Kansas City Chiefs and Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith agreed to a four-year contract extension on Tuesday worth $94 million, including $70 million guaranteed, league sources confirmed to The Athletic.

The deal, which makes Smith the highest-paid player at his position, was locked up hours before the NFL’s deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign long-term extensions. Before April’s NFL Draft, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told reporters it was “no secret” the team wanted to sign Smith long term, but the status of those contract negotiations became less clear as Tuesday’s deadline approached.

If Smith and the Chiefs did not reach a deal by 4 p.m., the 25-year-old would have been locked into a one-year deal worth $23.402 million, as established by the franchise tag.

Smith and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins were the only players placed on franchise tags this offseason, but both reached long-term deals with their teams and will avoid playing on the tag for the 2025 season.

Smith skipped all of the Chiefs’ OTAs in March but was in attendance for June’s mandatory minicamp amid contract negotiations. His presence is crucial as the Chiefs hope to squash the blocking issues on their offensive line that cost them in Super Bowl LIX.

Smith has started every one of the 67 games he’s played for Kansas City and has missed only one game in four seasons. In 2024, Smith allowed a career-best 1 1/2 sacks and earned his first Pro Bowl selection. He was a sixth-round draft pick by the Chiefs in 2021.
