\"NFL<\/p>\n

On Sunday evening, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter reported that the Kansas City Chiefs had agreed to terms with offensive tackle Josh Simmons, the team\u2019s first round selection in last month\u2019s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

While signing high draft picks was once an arduous process often lasting deep into the summer, the slotted values of draft picks under the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the league and the players association has made the agreements almost routine.<\/p>\n

Per Schefter, Simmons will earn $14.7 million on the four-year pact. All first-round contracts are now fully guaranteed. After the 2027 season, the Chiefs will have the ability to exercise a fifth-year option on Simmons to keep him under team control through 2029.<\/p>\n

When Simmons will actually seen on the field for game action remains to be seen. The talented blindside blocker tore his patellar tendon in game action midway through last season. After being heavily linked to Simmons throughout the draft process, the Chiefs were able to actually trade back a slot to take him with the 32nd overall selection.<\/p>\n

Head coach Andy Reid confirmed on Sunday that Simmons was participating in individual work at the team\u2019s rookie camp.<\/p>\n

Per the Chiefs\u2019 website, the team\u2019s fifth and seven round draft selections \u2014 linebacker Jeffrey Bassa and running back Brashard Smith respectively \u2014 agreed to terms on Saturday ahead of the team\u2019s rookie minicamp.<\/p>\n

Still awaiting contracts are second round defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, a pair of third round selections in edge rusher Ashton Gillote and cornerback Nohl Williams, and fourth round wide receiver Jalen Royals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
