The word is now officially out: the Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly willing to deal Alex Smith on the open market when their season is over. That is, unless they end up winning a Super Bowl, according to Ian Rapoport.
The Chiefs are likely letting the rest of the NFL know to prepare their trade offers in the instance that they make their starting quarterback available on the open market. Rapoport notes that the Chiefs are not only open to it but that the actual returns on the trade could actually be better than what they traded for Smith in the first place.
