I love the coaches, love my teammates. I would love to be back with the team; as far as contract-wise, I mean, truly, I&#8217;m letting my agent deal with that. Like my sole focus this year, moving forward, is just football,&#8221; said McDuffie. &#8220;I love what this team has done for me, and I love what I&#8217;ve been able to do for them. So, if it&#8217;s a long-term deal, I&#8217;d be ecstatic. That&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">McDuffie will enter the last season of his four-year, $14 million rookie contract. The Chiefs have a fifth-year option in 2026, when he will officially become an unrestricted free agent. He was named an All-Pro for the second consecutive season in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjE0Mzg0NzU3NzAwNjM0NDA0\/usatsi_24994959-2.jpg\" alt=\"There's nothing but love for Kansas City' \u2014 Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie gives  latest update on contract extension talks\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kansas City&#8217;s front office, led by general manager Brett Veach, has made moves this offseason to reinforce the secondary following the departure of safety Justin Reid.
