Smith was a top CB in the NFL last season, and can be again this season with the added front 7 help. You need top CB's in today's NFL. And this team now has one. Berry is coming back hopefully soon, which will boost this defense even more.

I want a dominating Chiefs defense. It needs to be the best defense in the league because Alex Smith won't win this team shit unless it is the best. The defense has tons of talent on it, there's no reason not to invest in the defense more and not have to worry about the secondary for years. Is a DWI all you're scared of?

Can you imagine eventually having Smith, Peters, Gaines covering xyz, Parker as a single high safety, Berry down in the box covering TE's and underneath routes along w/ DJ, and Houston, Ford, Catapano, Bailey, and Poe all unleashing hell on the QB. WTF is going to be able to pass on us?
Smith is unlikely to be affordable. By most accounts the Chiefs have approached him about an extension and the talks went nowhere. Byron Maxwell's contract is largely a bullshit contract full of fake numbers (similar to Ron Parkers) but even his absurd 6/$63 boils down to 2/$22 million after his roster bonus, signing bonus and guaranteed 2016 base is added up. He'll get cut/restructured in 2017 but he'll still have gotten $22 million in years 1 and 2.

So the 'real' value of the deal is still around $10 million in AAV and Smith should be able to demand that pretty easily.

The Chiefs just won't have that kind of money to spend. Granted, they've already worked $7.25 million into the cap for this season, but they have increases due to guys like Houston and Maclin next season that will swallow that up.

I'd love to keep him. He's appears to be a great teammate and an outstanding energy guy on the field (you need to be at the stadium to see that). He's a big part of the D's success. I just don't think it's realistic.
