The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing a five-year extension worth $41.25 million with guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Duvernay-Tardif started 14 games for the Chiefs last season, allowing just 2.5 sacks.

The 26-year-old was selected in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft out of McGill, becoming the 10th player chosen from a Canadian university. Many expected Duvernay-Tardif to begin his career in the CFL, but he signed a rookie contract with the Chiefs in May 2014 and forged a major role on the offensive line.

Duvernay-Tardif has one year remaining on his existing contract and is owed $690,000 in base salary for the 2017 season.
