Smith’s new deal, at $23 million per year, also guarantees him $70 million. The 26-year-old Smith becomes the highest-paid guard in NFL history, topping Philadelphia’s Landon Dickerson, who was extended last year at four years and $84 million on a contract with a $21 million average annual value.

Hours before a deadline to reach a long-term contract extension, the Chiefs made their star right guard the highest-paid player at his position in NFL history.

The contract reportedly includes $70 million guaranteed, and will make the 26-year-old the highest average salary of any player at his position in the NFL at $23.5 million annually.
