KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The last three times the Kansas City Chiefs traded for a starting quarterback, they parted with something of value in return. They gave up a pair of second-round draft picks for Alex Smith in 2013, a second-rounder for Matt Cassel in 2009 and a first-round choice for Trent Green in 2001.
Now that it may soon be the Chiefs’ turn to deal a starting quarterback -- and one who was the NFL’s top-rated passer in 2017 -- their fans have a vision of a bounty that Kansas City would acquire for Smith, if in fact he is dealt this offseason.
