Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is reporting that the Chiefs are finalizing a five-year, $41.25 million extension with G Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.

• According to Terez A Paylor, Duvernay-Tardif receives $20 million guaranteed as part of this new contract.

At an annual base salary of $8.25 million in terms of money, this new contract will leave Duvernay-Tardif as the No. 3 highest paid guard in the NFL, topping Mike Iupati and Brandon Brooks who make $8 million per year.

Duvernay-Tardif, 26, is a former sixth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2014. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2,345,300 rookie contract and set to make a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season.

In 2016, Duvernay-Tardif appeared in 14 games for the Chiefs and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 27 guard out of 72 qualifying players.
