Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith told The Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday, Jan. 30, that his preference is to return to the team in 2018.

Footballguys View: Of course he does. Andy Reid’s offense has been tailored to him, and Smith has strong talent around him and continuity. If he is traded, he could end up in Cleveland, Arizona, or the Jets in a rebuilding project, instead of the instant playoff team situation he was part of in Kansas City. Smith had a strong fantasy season with high peaks in 2017, but he’ll likely be a pedestrian fantasy option elsewhere.
