Following months of negotiations, the Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Alex Smith have reached a deal on a four-year contract extension that brings relief to both sides. Smith and the team both wanted to get a deal completed before the start of the regular season on Sunday. "It's nice that it is a two-way street. I wanted to be here and to have that reciprocated and to put it on paper is great. I'm really happy about it," Smith said.
