However, 2018 represents the beginning of a new era. Old faces who gave so much to the Chiefs like DJ and Hali will likely be axed. The team will still have tons of talent, but it will just be younger. The WRs who Mahomes will be playing with can get experience in 2017 and prove themselves worthy of playing in the new era.

The financial move points to them being open to keeping Smith for another season if Mahomes doesn't show the progress needed to be a starting QB, FWIW.
Peters, Berry, Smith, Houston, Kelce are the leaders of this team in 2017. Going into 2018 without Smith and putting the keys in the hands of an inexperienced 22 year old seems a little premature and reckless.
