"The Kansas City Chiefs and Trent McDuffie, their top cornerback, are not expected to agree to a multiyear contract extension before the team's season starts, sources told ESPN on Sunday. In the past six weeks, the Chiefs have had several conversations in an attempt to negotiate an extension with McDuffie, a two-time All-Pro who will begin his fourth NFL season Friday in São Paulo when Chiefs face the Los Angeles Chargers. McDuffie, 24, is the Chiefs' second-best defender behind pass rusher Chris Jones."
"He recorded two interceptions and 13 pass breakups, both career highs, along with 59 tackles, four quarterback hits and one forced fumble. Known for his coverage skills and durability, McDuffie played 996 defensive snaps. McDuffie was lined up fewer than 3 yards from an opposing receiver on a league-leading 63.5 percent of his snaps, the second highest press rate by any defender with at least 250 snaps on the perimeter in the past season, according to Next Gen Stats."
The Kansas City Chiefs and cornerback Trent McDuffie are unlikely to finalize a multiyear extension before the season begins. The team and McDuffie held several extension talks over the past six weeks, but McDuffie expects to play this season in the fourth year of his rookie contract and will earn a $2,613,066 base salary. McDuffie posted career highs with two interceptions and 13 pass breakups, alongside 59 tackles, four quarterback hits and a forced fumble. Known for coverage and durability, he played 996 defensive snaps and lined up within three yards of receivers on 63.5 percent of his snaps. GM Brett Veach said dialogue will continue and called McDuffie a priority.
