The Future of Mahomes’ “Iron Guardian” to Be Decided in 72 Hours
Share this article:
On the frontline protecting Patrick Mahomes, no one plays a more solid role than Trey Smith—one of the best young guards in the NFL today. After three seasons as the iron wall against every blitz, Smith has become not only a pillar of the Chiefs’ offensive line but also the steady heartbeat behind Kansas City’s championship ambitions.
Right now, the Chiefs’ front office is racing against time to reach a long-term contract agreement with Trey Smith before the July 15th deadline. If negotiations can’t be completed, Smith will have to play the 2025 season under the “franchise tag”—a one-year deal with a high salary (among the top at the OG position), but with an uncertain future at Arrowhead.
Trey Smith stands out not just for his ideal build and overwhelming strength at the line, but also for his remarkable resilience—having overcome a life-threatening medical diagnosis in college to rise and become a key figure helping Mahomes always find space to work his magic. Smith’s blocking and pass protection stats are consistently among the NFL’s best, making major contributions to the Chiefs’ scoring success in recent seasons.
The unresolved long-term deal with Smith has the entire Chiefs’ organization and fan community on edge. Many believe that keeping the “iron guardian” is vital if the Chiefs want to maintain their status as a powerhouse in the NFL title race.
The clock is ticking, and all eyes at Arrowhead are fixed on the future of Trey Smith—the man holding the keys to Patrick Mahomes’ safety.
