FILE - In this Sept. 26, 2010 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith (11) gestures during the first half of an NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo. Smith is headed to Kansas City, the first major acquisition by the Chiefs since Andy Reid took over as coach. A person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press on Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, that the Chiefs have agreed to deal for the 2005 top overall draft pick who lost his starting quarterback job in San Francisco to Colin Kaepernick last season. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade does not become official until March 12, when the NFL's new business year begins. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)
