(WJHL) \u2014 The Kansas City Chiefs beat the deadline to sign franchise-tagged guard Trey Smith to a multiyear contract, agreeing to terms Tuesday on a $94 million deal, a person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The four-year contract includes $70 million guaranteed, said the person, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been announced.<\/p>\n

Smith, 26, now has the highest average salary of any player at his position in the NFL at $23.5 million annually.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs had until 4 p.m. EDT Tuesday to work out a deal beyond this season after\u00a0giving Smith the franchise tag<\/a>\u00a0in March. Smith and franchised Cincinnati receiver\u00a0Tee Higgins each got a lucrative contract<\/a>, though the agreements came roughly four months apart.<\/p>\n

Smith has been a key part of the offensive line protecting two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes since entering the league in 2021 as a sixth-round draft pick out of Tennessee. Smith has started 67 regular-season and 13 playoff games, helping Kansas City win the Super Bowl twice and getting there last season before losing to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
