Gone are All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton, safety Justin Reid, and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, to name a few.<\/p>\n

But the team also added offensive tackle Jaylon Moore, cornerback Kristian Fulton, running back Elijah Mitchell, and retained running back Kareem Hunt, wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster, defensive end Charles Omenihu, and perhaps important of all tight end Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n

But Kansas City also made another major move on Tuesday afternoon in keeping Pro Bowl Trey Smith \u2014 a move that quarterback Patrick Mahomes wholeheartedly signed off on.<\/p>\n

\u201cChiefs, OL Trey Smith finalizing 4-year, $94M extension with $70M guaranteed to make him the highest-paid guard in the NFL. (via @RapSheet),\u201d the official NFL X account posted, which Mahomes retweeted.<\/p>\n

An hour later, the two-time MVP posted a simple \u201c\ud83d\ude01\u201d emoji, signaling he approved of the Chiefs\u2019 latest $90-plus million investment.<\/p>\n

Mahomes’ tweet brought about some pretty strong reactions from the Chiefs fan base.<\/p>\n

“\ud83d\udc10 got Protection,” one fan wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“TREY SMITH BABY!!!!!!” another fan exclaimed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Mahomes approved! Gotta keep you protected!” a third fan rejoiced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Protect MY KING \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25,” one user celebrated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So happy for Trey! And you! And us! Go Chiefs! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udde1\u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\udde1,” another user beamed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
