Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Has No Words After Team's Latest Move

The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are preparing for the upcoming training camp, aiming to move past their Super Bowl loss as the 2025 NFL season approaches. Considered top contenders again, the team bolstered its roster during the offseason and successfully retained key talent.

A major recent move was securing offensive lineman Trey Smith. As reported by NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs signed Smith to a four-year, $94 million contract extension, following their earlier decision to franchise tag him. Retaining Smith was a clear priority for Kansas City due to his role as one of Mahomes' primary protectors on the offensive line.

Mahomes publicly reacted to the contract news on social media by posting a smiling emoji (😁), clearly indicating his approval. Smith is viewed as crucial for the team's offensive success in the 2025 season. Originally a sixth-round pick (No. 226 overall) by the Chiefs in the 2021 NFL Draft, Smith has developed into an elite lineman under the team's guidance. At 26 years old, he is now a cornerstone player locked in long-term.

Meanwhile, Mahomes, the 29-year-old quarterback, is driven to win another championship. He enters the season coming off a 2024 performance where he played 16 games, completing 67.5% of his passes for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
