Similar to last year with pass rusher Chris Jones, GM Brett Veach acknowledged that re-signing Smith, 25, is the team’s top priority.

Chiefs G Trey Smith is one of the top free agents available and is set to be in high demand in March. Thanks to the rising salary cap and some big contracts for guards in recent years, Smith is looking at a huge contract from someone.

Smith, 25, is the best offensive lineman without a contract for 2025, something the Kansas City Chiefs are hoping to do something about. On Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach was asked about how high a priority Smith was for the three-time defending AFC champions. Veach didn’t mince words.
