Patrick Mahomes Had One-Emoji Reaction to Chiefs' Extension for Trey Smith

The Kansas City Chiefs secured offensive guard Trey Smith with a four-year, $94 million contract extension on Tuesday, ensuring he remains with the team through the 2028 season.

This deal makes Smith the highest-paid guard in the NFL. His quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, expressed immediate excitement upon hearing the news, celebrating with a single emoji (😁) on social media.

Smith, originally a sixth-round draft pick in 2021, has surpassed expectations to become a crucial part of the Chiefs' offensive line. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2024 and has started 67 games over the past four seasons, missing only one game.

The extension replaces the franchise tag placed on Smith earlier in the offseason, which would have paid him just over $23 million for one year. The Chiefs and Smith's agents successfully negotiated this new long-term agreement, providing stability for the standout player.
