The Arrowhead Addict podcast provides an in-depth analysis of the Kansas City Chiefs' recent decision to sign guard Trey Smith to a record-setting four-year, $94 million contract, with $70 million guaranteed. The hosts highlight the strategic implications of frontloading the contract, assigning $27 million in the first year, which could afford the team more flexibility in future seasons.

In a lively discussion, they delve into the comparison between Smith and Joe Thuney, examining the expectations that Smith now faces as one of the highest-paid guards in the league. The concerns raised about the offensive line's performance, particularly in run situations, add a layer of complexity to the excitement surrounding Smith's contract. They emphasize the balance between investing in top talent while ensuring the overall line effectiveness remains a priority.
