It’s been reported that the Kansas City Chiefs are the team expressing the most interest in San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback AlexSmith. The 49ers apparently have a trade in place involving Smith, and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com says Kansas City has been “trying to lay ground” for a
trade involving the former No. 1 overall pick.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport confirms the Chiefs have shown more interest than any other team in dealing for a quarterback who can step in as an immediate starter while rebuilding the rest of the roster. Per Rapoport, the 49ers spent the week "trying to lay ground" for a Smith trade and will do the same next week.
New Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is said to be high on Smith
as a candidate to lead his West Coast offense in Kansas City. Reid could target
other options, including his former quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles
Nick Foles as well as Seattle Seahawks backup Matt Flynn. However, Smith could
be the best option when it comes to price tag and ability to make an instant
impact in KC.
