Alex Smith pens thank you note to 'incredibly passionate' Chiefs fans | The Kansas City Star

Tuesday is officially the last full day that quarterback Alex Smith will be with the Chiefs.

When the new NFL season begins Wednesday, the Chiefs will complete a trade that was made in January and will send Smith to Washington.

With his time with the Chiefs coming to an end, Smith wrote a letter to the team and its fans on the Players' Tribune with the headline, "Thank You, Kansas City."

Smith opened by saying he knew last season likely would be his last with the Chiefs since they drafted Patrick Mahomes in the first round of the NFL Draft.
