Trent McDuffie News: Fifth-year option picked up

Kansas City exercised the fifth-year option worth $13.6 million on McDuffie's rookie contract Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

McDuffie will stick around for an additional year in 2026, which comes as no surprise. In his third season with the AFC West powerhouse in 2024, the cornerback compiled 59 total tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding a career-high 13 passes defensed, two of which were interceptions, and a forced fumble over 16 regular-season contests.
