DONE DEAL: In an Off-Season Move, Kansas City Chiefs Extend Trey Smith’s Contract – Andy Reid Confirms
Kansas City, MO – June 15, 2025
In a move that solidifies the future of one of the NFL’s top offensive lines, the Kansas City Chiefs have officially extended guard Trey Smith’s contract, head coach Andy Reid confirmed in a press conference earlier today. The deal ensures that the anchor on the right side of Patrick Mahomes’ protection will remain a Chief for the foreseeable future.
> “Trey’s the kind of player you build around—tough, smart, and relentless,” said Reid. “We’re thrilled to have him locked in long-term.”
Contract Details Still Unfolding
While the full terms of the extension have not yet been made public, league insiders report that the new deal is expected to be a multi-year contract that will make Smith one of the highest-paid guards in the league. The 2021 sixth-round draft pick has massively outperformed expectations, quickly becoming a core part of Kansas City’s offensive engine.
Since being drafted, Trey Smith has started nearly every game and played a key role in two Super Bowl runs. Known for his physicality in the run game and quickness in pass protection, Smith has become a favorite of both coaches and fans for his no-nonsense, blue-collar style of play.
He forms part of a dominant offensive line that includes All-Pros like Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey. Smith’s return helps maintain continuity and chemistry in a unit crucial to keeping Mahomes upright and productive
Chiefs’ Front Office Strategy
This extension comes as part of Kansas City’s broader strategy to maintain its championship core. After already locking up Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and key defenders, the Chiefs continue to prioritize stability in the trenches—where playoff games are so often won.
General Manager Brett Veach praised Smith’s work ethic and leadership:
> “Trey is everything you want in a Chief. He’s earned this, and we’re proud to reward him.”
What’s Next for KC
With Smith now secured, the Chiefs turn their focus to finalizing contracts for other rising stars and preparing for the 2025 season, where they aim for a third straight Super Bowl appearance.
In a league where change is constant, the Chiefs have made one thing very clear: Trey Smith isn’t going anywhere.
