But a more permanent solution is still on the docket, and Smith confirmed he would also prefer a long-term contract with the Chiefs while speaking with NFL host Kay Adams on her \u201cUp &amp; Adams\u201d show with FanDuel TV.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2x Super Bowl Champ Trey Smith would love to stay in Kansas City with the Chiefs.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/heykayadams?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@heykayadams<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/treysmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@treysmith<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LesmJTgoLx\">pic.twitter.com\/LesmJTgoLx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Up &amp; Adams (@UpAndAdamsShow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UpAndAdamsShow\/status\/1904201867619422591?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, I can only focus on working out and training,\u201d Smith told Adams when asked about long-term contract negotiations. \u201cI love Kansas City, it\u2019s my home. I love the Chiefs. The fans in Kansas City are some of the best people I\u2019ve ever been around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Smith added very candidly that \u201cI would love to stay [with the Chiefs].\u201d He concluded that extending with KC is his \u201cplan\u201d for his NFL future.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Chiefs &amp; Trey Smith Are Expected to Work out Long-Term Deal<\/h2>\n<p>With the bulk of 2025 free agency now in the past, Smith and the Chiefs are expected to try and work out a long-term deal sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Since they franchise tagged Smith, Kansas City has made it very clear that this current financial agreement is just a placeholder until the two parties work out something agreeable for 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>With Smith and the Chiefs both wanting the same thing, the hard part is already accomplished. Now, they just have to iron out the fine print and the smaller details.<\/p>\n<p>Aka, the business side of football.<\/p>\n<p>Smith is a Pro Bowl right guard who has also been incredibly durable since entering the league \u2014 with 67 regular season starts and another 13 playoff starts in four years. He\u2019s already a two-time Super Bowl champion starter and he\u2019s never earned a season-long Pro Football Focus grade under 72.0.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, he deserves to get paid. The only questions are when, and how much.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs starting guard Trey Smith addressed his hope for his NFL future after being franchise tagged by KC before free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: Chiefs&#039;
