All the talk of great pressure on him, the Mahomes drafting a signal to him, or this being a contract year is pretty much expected conjecture. It really isn't reality though.
I don't know if it ever becomes public, but Smith did Andy and Co. a solid. He went to them with his plans beyond the 2017 season.. and it does not involve playing football. This is why there was great urgency on a young QBotF being targeted.
