The Chiefs' decision to trade Alex Smith was a big deal

The thrill of gambling is the opportunity to hit big, and the Kansas City Chiefs won the jackpot. However, playing with fire can get ya ass burnt. After a decade of poor-to-middling seasons, Kansas City had already struck gold and entered a new era of success in the early 2010s, led by quarterback Alex Smith. He’d reached heights the franchise hadn’t seen in years, if ever, and was considered by some a Chiefs legend. So how exactly does a player of that stature get attached to a deal that altered NFL history? The Chiefs’ decision to trade Alex Smith was a big deal.
