Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith has officially announced his retirement from the NFL, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap.
Smith’s announcement comes on the heels of an offseason in which Smith was hoping to find another chance to start. After posting such an incredible return from a devastating leg injury just last year, one that earned him the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year, Smith was looking to build on his already impressive career of 16 years.
