Kansas City Chiefs: Potential Alex Smith landing spots

Kansas City Chiefs: Alex Smith’s Next Team
#6: Kansas City Chiefs
Can we really overlook the potential that the Kansas City Chiefs think keeping Alex Smith for one more year is the best strategy? I may not agree with that line of thinking, but it has to be considered a possibility. Andy Reid loves Alex Smith, and the veteran quarterback has delivered some pretty good results so far.
We saw the debut of Patrick Mahomes, and it absolutely went well. He may not have found the endzone, but Mahomes looked poised and comfortable calling plays. However, Alex Smith is definitely more comfortable in this offense. So it may actually be a bit of a tough call for Andy Reid and Brett Veach.
I really do see this as just the slightest of chances, but the Chiefs have surprised us before. The move makes no sense financially, and it doesn’t help KC recoup any draft picks, but it’s possible. Sometimes Andy Reid can get a little stubborn about his quarterbacks. I really don’t think this is one of those times though.
