Smith’s new deal, at $23.5 million per year, also guarantees the offensive lineman $70 million. The 26-year-old Smith becomes the highest-paid guard in NFL history, topping Philadelphia’s Landon Dickerson, who was extended last year at four years and $84 million on a contract with a $21 million average annual value.

The Kansas City Chiefs lost one of their key offensive lineman this offseason, but they got another one signed for years to come. They reached a notable deal with guard Trey Smith, signing him to a four-year contract extension worth $94 million.
