At this point I think the Chiefs have to let Smith go - they can't afford to give the guy a deal that pays a 29 yr old corner with fringe athleticism big money for the next 3 years, nor do they have the immediate liquidity to front-load a deal enough to make it more attractive than what he can get on the market.
But I'd have loved to see him back for 1 via the franchise tag.

I know you were a proponent of tagging him, but/and maybe I'm being a little bit of a pessimist here, but he doesn't seem like the guy who'd be overly happy to do it or would do it.
Him not trying to appeal that 4 game DUI suspension didn't seem right, like maybe a little fear of being injured before the FA period itis. Either way, worked out great for them.
In the end, the stars are aligning for the Chiefs to have to take a CB pretty early again. With peters and his aggression/risk/reward style, I don't like having a rookie opposite him.
