This team has too many deficiencies aside from Smith to do anything relevant. All that would do is stunt Mahomes growth with Andy reaching for Smith the first time Mahomes struggles. A back and forth QB carrossel just prolongs the inevitable. The Chiefs just need to go all in with Mahomes with the understanding this is a new team and build it the right way.

They gave up on the season when they traded up to get Mahomes. I'm not sure if those picks would have been major contributors like Peters was Day 1 but you'll never know, the league seems wide open this year and the defense could use help plugging some holes. Regardless of what-ifs, the window for that core of players is for sure closed. There's no point in keeping guys like Smith, Hali or Derek Johnson around and trying to squeeze out production in hopes that "this is the year."
