Smith is asking way too much money. He wants a top 5 qb salary, but he's not an elite qb. I'd rather the team be worse a year or two, than to risk losing multiple all pro caliber guys like berry, Houston and poe, for the sake of overpaying smith. Give one of the young guys a shot, simplify the offense, and let one of the best rb in the league do work, along with the promising knile Davis. 200 passing yards per game isn't worth 20 million a year. But I do agree, the chiefs would look like morons for letting smith walk after trading two 2nd rounder for him, though I'm sure they didn't foresee him wanting drew brees money.
