Trey Smith Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith (ankle) is not expected to play in his team's Week 13 matchup on Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys due to an ankle injury, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Smith suffered an ankle injury that forced him to exit early from Kansas City's Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Losing Smith is a significant blow for the Chiefs' offense in both the run and pass game. Entering Week 13, Pro Football Focus has graded Smith as the 19th-best guard in the NFL out of 80 qualified players at the position. Without Smith, versatile offensive lineman Jaylon Moore appears likely to get the start at right guard in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old entered the week graded by Pro Football Focus as the 11th-best guard in the NFL out of 80 qualified players, so his absence is a significant blow for the Kansas City offense. Without him, Jaylon Moore will likely take over at right guard for the remainder of Week 12. The exact severity of Smith's injury is unclear, but it's not a great sign that he is unable to return against Indianapolis. An extended absence for Smith could be problematic for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the team's skill position players going forward.

Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith (back) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Buffalo Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He was listed as questionable but has been trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The 26-year-old played nearly every snap through the first six games before exiting early in Week 7 and missing Week 8. His return comes at a great time for the Chiefs, as he'll offer improved protection for Patrick Mahomes in a competitive AFC showdown against the Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs and franchise-tagged offensive guard Trey Smith are finalizing a massive new contract extension on Tuesday that will make him the highest-paid guard in the league, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The four-year deal worth $94 million deal will be done by agents Tory Dandy and Jimmy Sexton. The deal includes $70 million guaranteed. Smith would have been the highest-paid guard in the NFL if he had played on the one-year, $23.4 million franchise tag in 2025, too. The 26-year-old was taken in the sixth round (226th overall) in 2021 out of Tennessee but has become one of the best guards in the league and was named a first-time Pro Bowler in 2024. Smith has started 67 of a possible 68 regular-season games since joining KC, including all 13 of their playoff games since 2021. He's now locked in with the Chiefs for the foreseeable future.

The Athletic's Nate Taylor points out that Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith is the only player in the NFL that is currently on the franchise tag. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chiefs have until 4 pm ET on Tuesday to sign Smith to a multi-year contract extension. If a new deal isn't completed by the deadline on Tuesday, Smith will earn $23.4 million on the franchise tag in 2025, which makes him the highest-paid guard in the league. The 26-year-old is a key member of the Chiefs' offensive line, as he's started 67 of a possible 68 regular-season games and all 13 of the team's playoff games since he was taken in the sixth round by KC in 2021. He is one of the NFL's best right guards, so it would be a mild surprise if they are unable to reach an extension with him before Tuesday evening.

The Kansas City Chiefs welcomed back franchise-tagged offensive guard Trey Smith to mandatory minicamp last month, a good sign that both sides will eventually work out a new long-term contract extension, according to The Athletic's Zak Keefer. "There's no secret we'd like to get Trey locked up," general manager Brett Veach said earlier this year. The 26-year-old allowed only 1.5 sacks in 2024 and has been part of two of the team's Super Bowl championships. If the two sides cannot agree on an extension before the start of the 2025 season, Smith will make $23.4 million, which would make him the highest-paid guard in the NFL. He has started 67 of 68 regular-season games for KC and all of their 13 playoff games since he was selected in the sixth round back in 2021. Smith has become one of the best right guards in the league.

Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith signed his franchise tag on Sunday, which locks him in for $23.4 million on a one-year, fully guaranteed contract that officially makes him the league's highest-paid guard, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. For now, the Chiefs are hoping this is just a placeholder as they work to sign Smith to a long-term deal. Specifically, the 25-year-old received the non-exclusive franchise tag. The former sixth-rounder (226th overall) in 2021 out of Tennessee was on the All-Rookie team and also made his first Pro Bowl in 2024. He's missed just one game in his four NFL seasons in Kansas City and has become one of the best and most durable guards in the league. The Chiefs and Smith now have until July to work on a long-term extension. Otherwise, Smith will make $23.4 million in 2025 in his fifth year in the NFL.

The Kansas City Chiefs will place the franchise tag on Pro Bowl offensive guard Trey Smith, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The goal remains for the Chiefs to work out a long-term deal with Smith, and negotiations will continue. There's no way Kansas City was going to let the 25-year-old reach the open market this offseason, where he would have been the top guard available. If the two sides are unable to reach a contract extension by the deadline in July, Smith will play the 2025 season on the $23.4 million franchise tag. He was originally a sixth-round selection (226th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of the University of Tennessee. Not only has Smith started all 67 of the games he's appeared in since entering the league in 2021, but he's been one of the best all-around guards in his four seasons. His Pro Bowl selection in 2024 was the first of his career.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said on Tuesday that he's "pretty optimistic" that the team can retain offensive guard Trey Smith, also saying "we've already had some good dialogue on him" and his agency. Smith is headed for free agency next month and should have plenty of suitors if he reaches the open market after performing as a top-15 guard in 2024, per Pro Football Focus. If the Chiefs aren't able to reach an extension to keep Smith in town before he officially becomes a free agent, they could place the franchise tag on him, specifically the transition tag. The 25-year-old was taken in the sixth round by the Chiefs in the 2021 NFL draft out of the University of Tennessee and he's started in all 67 of the games that he's appeared in over his four seasons. Smith made his first Pro Bowl with KC in 2024.

Both ESPN's Adam Schefter and Adam Teicher think it's unlikely that the Kansas City Chiefs would place the franchise tag on impending free-agent right guard Trey Smith, which would cost just over $25 million in 2025, but Schefter thinks the transition tag is much more plausible. The franchise tag for Smith would make him the highest-paid guard in the league by $4 million in average per year. Another reason that doesn't make sense is that KC already has a lot invested in offensive linemen Creed Humphrey, Jawaan Taylor and Joe Thuney. A transition tag would give the Chiefs the ability to match any offer another team gives Smith, but it would save them just $3 million compared to the franchise tag. If Smith hits the open market, expect plenty of teams to be interested in signing the former sixth-rounder in 2021 out of Tennessee.
