The Facts: The Chiefs will take the field today with Smith under center -- one of the game's most underrated players despite holding the league's top quarterback rating. And yet, the Chiefs are open to trading Smith this offseason, sources say, thanks in part to one of the most fervent quarterback markets in recent memory.
Diehards Line:
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport Kansas City won't actively seek out trade partners, but they will listen. There is a real chance Smith, who's set to make $17 million next season, will be dealt for the second time in his career. That said, Rapoport added, if Smith leads the Chiefs to Super Bowl LII, that might cause all sides to pull back. Regardless, the Chiefs are thrilled with everything they have seen from 2017 first-round draft pick Patrick Mahomes. The rookie's play during Week 17 impressed team brass, going 22-of-35 for 284 yards with an interception in his first game.
