Trent McDuffie has developed into a star cornerback under the direction of Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
With his rookie contract set to expire after the 2026 season, should Chiefs general manager Brett Veach consider extending McDuffie's deal in the coming months?
Here's a look at McDuffie's current contract:
The Chiefs have already exercised McDuffie's fifth-year option for 2026. Next season, the star defensive back will earn a base salary of $13,632,000 with no signing proration, roster bonus, or workout bonus.
In total, his 2026 earnings are set to amount to $13,632,000, which will take up 4.6% of Kansas City's cap space.
OverTheCap.com projects that the Chiefs could save $9,933,600 in cap space by extending McDuffie's contract during the 2026 offseason.
Given that the Chiefs could save nearly $10,000,000 by extending McDuffie's contract — and that the veteran cornerback is among Kansas City's most valuable defenders — it seems likely that general manager Brett Veach will consider giving the former Washington Husky a new deal this year.
