Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Mitchell Schwartz met with reporters on Thursday for the first time since signing a new one-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2021 season. The tackle answered several questions about the timing and terms of the deal along with inquiries into his offseason plans.
Schwartz has been even better than advertised ever since he took over duties at right tackle in 2016. Originally signed to a five-year deal by general manager John Dorsey, Schwartz is a two-time All-Pro since joining the Chiefs, and was ranked by Pro Football Focus as the best offensive lineman in the NFL last season.
