The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Tennessee Titans, 22-21, in Saturday's AFC wild-card playoff game with quarterback Alex Smith under center -- one of the game's most underrated players despite holding the league's top quarterback rating.
And yet, the Chiefs are open to trading Smith this offseason, sources said, thanks in part to one of the most fervent quarterback markets in recent memory.
Kansas City won't actively seek out trade partners, but they will listen. There is a real chance Smith, who's set to make $17 million next season, will be dealt for the second time in his career. When asked by reporters Saturday if he wanted to return to Kansas City next season, Smith said, "Yeah, are you kidding me?"

Looks like beating down Radio gave them confidence in Mahones.
