The deal would make Smith the highest-paid guard in NFL history.
Smith, 26, has played all four of his NFL seasons with the Chiefs after he was drafted in the 6th round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who Smith helps protect, offered his reaction Tuesday on social media.
