The Kansas City Chiefs face a difficult decision regarding the future of right guard Trey Smith, whose rookie contract expires at the end of the season. With a booming market for offensive guards and salary cap constraints, Smith's departure could significantly impact the team's offensive line.

The Kansas City Chiefs have found success by utilizing a rotating cast of wide receivers instead of investing in a top-tier superstar. However, with limited salary cap space next season, right guard Trey Smith could be a casualty. Smith, a sixth-round pick in 2021, is on a cost-effective rookie deal that expires at the end of the season. This presents a challenge as the market for offensive guards has surged.

Robert Hunt recently signed a five-year, $100 million deal, highlighting the increasing value placed on interior offensive line protection. Landon Dickerson holds the highest annual average salary for a guard at $21.5 million, and Smith is projected to command a significant contract. Smith, turning 26 at the start of next season, is entering his prime with an impressive performance record. His combination of size (6-foot-6, 321 pounds) and pass protection skills make him a valuable asset. His partnership with center Creed Humphrey and left guard Joe Thuney forms a formidable offensive line core. Smith emphasizes the Chiefs' team culture, which encourages individuality and camaraderie. The Chiefs might explore contract restructuring to retain Smith, but they will also need to address the need for a reliable backup quarterback
