Jets should not pursue Alex Smith in free agency

There’s no denying the fact that quarterback Alex Smith had one of his better seasons in 2017, as he ended the year as one of the league’s top passers. Although the Kansas City Chiefs suffered a disappointing 22-21 defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans earlier this month to push them out of the NFL Playoffs, the team had a strong season, and Smith played a big role in that.

He finished the season with 4,042 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. Despite his performance, however, the Chiefs will likely look to trade him due to a few different reasons, one being that Patrick Mahomes is being viewed as the team’s future signal caller.
