Our take: It's been an unusual second half of the NFL season for former Utah quarterback Alex Smith, who lost his starting job with the San Francisco 49ers, yet his team is playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday. For Smith, who will back up new 49ers starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Super Bowl XLVII against Baltimore, the conversation has already swung toward where he will be playing next season. A report from NFL.com says Smith, the first pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, could be headed to Kansas City and its new head coach Andy Reid, a former BYU offensive lineman.
Alex Smith will not be with the San Francisco 49ers next season, as NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported earlier this week. So where might he land?
Mr. RapSheet named the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs as teams that have shown early interest. For new Chiefs coach Andy Reid, it's apparently not the first time he's shown interest in Smith.
The San Francisco Chronicle quotes ESPN's Trent Dilfer as saying Reid "really likes Alex."

Take a look at Alex Smith's QB rating before he got benched this season and then tell me how he's a draft bust. And you've got no room to talk about draft busts - your school has Ty Detmer.
This is impossible! Hasn't Reid been reading these threads? Didn't he spend time at quarterback university aka byu? He should know that Alex Smith is the worst qb of all time and wasn't nearly as good as Ty Detmer. That's why we More..
I don't think this is as big of a rebuild job as people would assume. Mind you, the Chiefs were obviously very bad this year. But they have half a dozen Pro-Bowlers on their roster. Smith would have one of the top RBs in the league to hand off More..
