I'll give it a chance before I completely dismiss it.
If they made this trade with Romeo and ***** on board, I'm taking this differently.
From the news I've gathered, the Chiefs are comfortable letting Smith play these 2 years out. If year one goes extremely well, they will likely approach him about an extension.
They are also going to be looking to upgrade at TE and shift Moeaki into more of Delanie Walker role. If Finley gets cut, he's a definite target.

Good info there guy. Smith's contract is very reasonable. He's also been good about the structure of his contracts. Smith negociates his contracts with confidence, and he isn't afraid to give teams ways to get out if they so choose.
Three or four years ago having a first round QB contract and an 8 mil back up would cripple a team finantially. Since the new CBA, It is pretty affordable to keep a first rounder on the bench for a couple of years to develop while a vet holds down the fort. I think at this point in alex's career he helps the search for a franchise quarterback rather than hurts it.
