One glaring issue that emerged\u2014both in the Super Bowl and throughout the previous season\u2014was the offensive line&#8217;s inability to protect star\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Patrick Mahomes, who was sacked six times, the most in any game of his career.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Chiefs used their first-round pick (No. 32 overall) in the 2025 NFL draft to select\u00a0Ohio State\u00a0offensive lineman Josh Simmons. On Sunday night, the team received more good news: Simmons officially signed his four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract with the organization.<\/p>\n<p>According to his agents Drew Rosenhaus, Robert Bailey, and Oliver Chell, the deal is worth approximately $14 million.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-d87d72274b67433ca507f2d4ab3e0ccc\" data-google-query-id=\"CO6M3-iYi40DFb6NrAIdfTUT8A\" data-ad-size=\"0x0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chiefs first-round pick Josh Simmons signed his four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth $14,675,353, per his agents Drew Rosenhaus, Robert Bailey and Oliver Chell. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/35pdggNMnv\">pic.twitter.com\/35pdggNMnv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamSchefter\/status\/1919183770814411019?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 5, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This marks an important development for Mahomes, who now gains another key piece up front in Josh Simmons \u2014 a highly regarded offensive tackle who helped Ohio State win a national championship during his time with the program.<\/p>\n<p>However, Simmons is coming off a torn patellar tendon suffered in October.
