The Chiefs and their starting right guard got it done with about two hours to spare.

Talks persisted until about two hours before the deadline, but in the end, the two sides got it done: the Kansas City Chiefs and right guard Trey Smith have agreed to a four-year contract extension.

Multiple outlets (ESPN, Fox Sports and NFL Network) report the four-year deal is worth $94 million, with $70 million guaranteed.

Smith, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Chiefs during the 2021 NFL Draft. Since his rookie season, he has started 67 regular-season and 13 playoff games for Kansas...

On Monday morning, ESPN’s Field Yates continued his yearly NFL positional rankings based on the voting of league insiders. This time, he focused on quarterbacks.

Let’s discuss the possibility of an 18-game season.

While it hasn’t happened yet, it seems more and more likely that the NFL will soon add another week to its regular season. But how should they go about doing that? Would that mean the league would have only two preseason games? Should that move the Super Bowl to the Sunday before President’s Day, putting the NFL championship in a three-day weekend for many people? And should the league also schedule an additional bye week for every team? But doing so would eliminate the off week between the preseason and regular season....
