They let <strong>Charvarius Ward<\/strong> leave in free agency in 2022 and traded <strong>L\u2019Jarius Sneed<\/strong> to the Titans last offseason rather than sign him to an extension. While Kansas City did sign <strong>Kristian Fulton <\/strong>to a two-year, $20MM deal this offseason, the rest of their cornerback room is largely made up of recent Day 3 picks.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs seem more inclined to keep McDuffie after a stellar start to his NFL career. They traded up to the No. 21 pick to draft him in 2022, and he has since developed into one of the league\u2019s best cornerbacks. He earned a first-team All-Pro nod in 2023 while playing primarily in the slot with seven passes defended, five forced fumbles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks. The former Washington Husky earned a second-team All-Pro berth for his efforts with his first two interceptions and 13 passes defended, but he fewer impact plays after moving to the boundary full-time.<\/p>\n<p>Extending McDuffie will be a costly proposition after cornerback pay exploded this offseason. Fellow 2022 first-rounders <strong>Sauce Gardner<\/strong> and <strong>Derek Stingley<\/strong> both reached $30MM per year on their new contracts, and McDuffie will likely be demanding a similar sum. He missed six games due to injury as a rookie but has been healthy since, giving him a better record of availability compared to Stingley. McDuffie also put up a stronger 2024 season than Gardner in several categories, which should position him for a $30MM APY extension.<\/p>\n<p>That will likely be the number required to get a deal done before the regular season starts. The Chiefs already picked up McDuffie\u2019s fifth-year option for 2026 (worth $13.6MM), giving them a long runway to agree on terms before they worry about losing their star corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow @PFRumors<\/p>\n<h2>NFL Trade Rumors: Kansas City ChiefsTrent McDuffie<\/h2>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chiefs are hoping to sign star cornerback Trent McDuffie to a long-term extension before Week 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":83835,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[15,1505],"class_list":["post-83834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-trent-mcduffie"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
