Of course the Chiefs are going to extend Smith... it is what the Chiefs do.
Deberg- 4 years
Grbac- 4 years
Green- 6 years
Cassel- 4 years
The only exception that comes to mind is Montana, who retired after only 2 years (although I'm sure the Chiefs would have been happy to have him longer).
Additionally, it is the only logical thing the Chiefs can do after painting themselves into a corner with Smith. If the Chiefs had signed Campbell or some other free-agent QB last year, they would likely be in better position to draft a QB this year. Having made the playoffs and picking 23rd, the Chiefs will have no shot at the best QB prospects in the draft (and won't likely have interest, in any case). Barring injury, Smith will be here for the forseeable future.
