Chiefs Beat Franchise Tag Deadline, Sign Guard Trey Smith to a 4-Year, $94M Deal, AP Source Says
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the deadline to sign franchise-tagged guard Trey Smith to a multiyear contract, agreeing to terms Tuesday on a 94 million deal, a person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press. The four-year contract includes 70 million guaranteed, said the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been announced. Smith, 26, now has the highest average salary of any player at his position in the NFL at 23.5 million annually. The Chiefs had until 4 p.m. EDT Tuesday to work out a deal beyond this season after giving Smith the franchise tag in March. Smith and franchised Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins each got a lucrative contract, though the agreements came roughly four months apart. Smith has been a key part of the offensive line protecting two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes since entering the league in 2021 as a sixth-round draft pick out of Tennessee. Smith has started 67 regular-season and 13 playoff games, helping Kansas City win the Super Bowl twice and getting there last season before losing to Philadelphia.

Jets Make Sauce Gardner the Nfl's Highest-paid Cornerback With a $120.4m Extension, Ap Source Says
The New York Jets are making Sauce Gardner the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The Jets and Gardner agreed on a four-year $120.4 million extension through the 2030 season, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the agreement had not been announced. The contract, paying the two-time All-Pro an average of $30.1 million a year, comes a day after the Jets agreed to a lucrative extension with top wide receiver Garrett Wilson. That deal is worth $130 million as the organization locked up two foundational players for the long-term future. Gardner, who turns 25 before Week 1, was the No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft out of Cincinnati. He established himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks during his first two professional seasons, including being selected the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. After a down year by his standards, he is out to prove naysayers wrong, saying he has always been an underdog. After recently declining to say whether he wanted to be the richest player at the position, Gardner now has that distinction.

Allisha Gray who made her own history last season winning the 3-point and Skills Challenge will try and defend her title in both competitions. She beat Jonquel Jones 22-21 to win the 3-point shootout. Gray beat Sophie Cunningham by 2 seconds to win the skills competition. The Atlanta Dream star received 110,000 from Aflac as part of a partnership with the WNBPA. The 3-point contest winner this year will get an extra 5,000 from Aflac. Gray also got 2,575 from the league for each of her two victories. Other participants in the 3-point contest are Washington rookie Sonia Citron and Los Angeles Kelsey Plum.
