Trey Smith Rejects Lucrative Bears Offer, Vows Loyalty to Chiefs

Kansas City, MO – July 4, 2025

Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith has turned down a lucrative contract offer from the Chicago Bears, reaffirming his unwavering loyalty to the Chiefs despite ongoing contract negotiations, sources told ESPN on Friday. His decision has resonated deeply with Chiefs Kingdom.

Smith, 25, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal signed in 2021, has been a stalwart on the Chiefs’ offensive line, starting 47 games and earning a 75.2 PFF grade in 2024. The Bears reportedly offered a three-year deal worth $24 million, including $15 million guaranteed, a significant upgrade over his current $1.2 million 2025 cap hit. However, Smith chose to stay, prioritizing his bond with Kansas City.

In a statement released via the team’s social media, Smith addressed his stance: “Although we haven’t reached the agreement I’d hoped for with the Chiefs, that doesn’t mean I want to leave and find a different jersey. I love the Chiefs.” The heartfelt declaration underscores his commitment, even as negotiations with GM Brett Veach remain unresolved.

Agent's Take: How the Chiefs Can Secure Guard Trey Smith Long-Term ...

Head coach Andy Reid praised Smith’s dedication, saying, “Trey’s heart is in Kansas City. His choice reflects the culture we’re building.” The Chiefs, with $11.2 million in cap space, are navigating talks with multiple free agents, including Chris Jones and Travis Kelce, but Smith’s loyalty provides stability to a line protecting Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 4,542 yards in 2024.

Fans on X erupted with support, posting, “Trey Smith is a true Chief!” and “Loyalty over money—love this guy!” The Bears, with $25 million in cap space, may pivot to other free agents like Brandon Scherff, per NFL.com, while Smith’s decision bolsters Kansas City’s Super Bowl LX aspirations.

As training camp nears on July 22, Smith’s resolve strengthens the Chiefs’ roster. Can his loyalty pay off with a championship? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
