## Resource

Trey Smith, the Chiefs’ sixth-round gem turned foundational star, is now the highest-paid guard in football — but his 2023 injury-riddled season (12 games) casts a shadow over his $20M cap hit. Despite that, his elite run blocking and QB protection make him indispensable. With no major O-line upgrades this offseason, backups Mike Caliendo and Hunter Nourzad will battle for reps — and the Chiefs’ success hinges on Smith staying healthy and reclaiming his All-Pro form.
