Could Alex Smith be a surprising option for the Jets?

File this one under: Make of it what you will.

A day after the Chiefs' demoralizing, two-point, playoff-eliminating loss to the Steelers, media members pressed coach Andy Reid on the status of starting quarterback Alex Smith. Basically, will Smith be Kansas City's QB 1 in 2017?

Reid was, well, committed in the most uncommitted way possible.

"Do I still think we can win with Alex?" Reid said, via NFL Network. "Yeah, we were right there."

In all likelihood, this means nothing.
