The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0are coming off a disappointing showing in\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0LIX, where they missed a golden opportunity to capture their third consecutive Lombardi Trophy and make\u00a0NFL\u00a0history.<\/p>\n
Instead, the game went in the opposite direction, as the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0handed them a 40-22 defeat. One glaring issue that emerged\u2014both in the Super Bowl and throughout the previous season\u2014was the offensive line’s inability to protect star\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Patrick Mahomes, who was sacked six times, the most in any game of his career.<\/p>\n
In response, the Chiefs used their first-round pick (No. 32 overall) in the 2025 NFL draft to select\u00a0Ohio State\u00a0offensive lineman Josh Simmons. On Sunday night, the team received more good news: Simmons officially signed his four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract with the organization.<\/p>\n
According to his agents Drew Rosenhaus, Robert Bailey, and Oliver Chell, the deal is worth approximately $14 million.<\/p>\n
