\n

The Kansas City Chiefs are not expected to reach an agreement over a new contract with star cornerback Trent McDuffie ahead of the new NFL season.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old, a first-round draft pick in 2022, was a key player as the Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN, the Chiefs have been in negotiations with McDuffie for the past six weeks over a multi-year contract extension.<\/p>\n

But nothing has been finalized ahead of the Chiefs’ opening game of the 2025 season on Friday, when they face\u00a0the Los Angeles\u00a0Chargers in Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n

McDuffie has established himself as a crucial part of Steve Spagnuolo’s defense in Kansas City.<\/p>\n

But he is expected to earn a base salary of just $2.6million as he enters the fourth year of his rookie contract.<\/p>\n

\"McDuffie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Moving forward now, really, it’s just about the season and about (Friday’s) game,’ McDuffie said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

‘I’m not too worried about the contract. That can just happen in the (next) offseason. Let’s just go out there and have a great year.’<\/p>\n

But Chiefs general manager Brett Veach admitted that it is a ‘priority’ for Kansas City to secure the future of a ‘special’ cornerback.<\/p>\n

‘We definitely have had dialogue,’ Veach said recently. ‘He’s obviously a special player.<\/p>\n

‘We’re going to continue that dialogue, and hopefully something gets worked out. I think things have been good. Trent is obviously going to be a priority.’<\/p>\n

McDuffie enjoyed the best season of his career as the Chiefs reached a third-straight Super Bowl in 2024.<\/p>\n

He amassed a career-high two interceptions and 13 pass breakups. The 24-year-old also recorded 59 tackles, one forced fumble and four quarterback hits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
