Oakland Raiders CB Sean Smith downplays matchup against former team

By Josh Dubow, AP Sports Writer

ALAMEDA, Calif. — For Oakland Raiders cornerback Sean Smith, a matchup against his former team is just business and not anything personal even if the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t make enough of an effort to keep him this offseason.

“It’s a division game, an AFC game, so it has some importance to it, but there’s nothing else special for me,” Smith said.

Smith has gone through this dance before when he faced his original team, Miami, in his second season with the Chiefs in 2014. Smith said he looks forward to checking in on some old friends before the game but is not looking to settle any old grudges.
