Smith lost his job as starting quarterback of the 49ers to Colin Kaepernick following a concussion. Kaepernick quickly ended the controversy with several signature performances and eventually led the 49ers to an appearance in the Super Bowl.
With this bold trade, Andy Reid is clearly gambling his success with the Chiefs on the performance of Smith.
The Browns, Cardinals and Jaguars were the other teams believed to be interested in trading for Smith.
The Arizona Cardinals are reportedly exploring a trade for Alex Smith.

Jim Harbaugh responded to comments from Tim Brown about Bill Callahan's alleged sabotage of Super Bowl XXXVII.
Harbaugh was a coach for the Oakland Raiders that season.
"(Brown) was not factual at all and I really think he should be ashamed of what he said," said Harbaugh.
Jim Harbaugh believe the San Francisco 49ers are dealing from a position of strength when it comes to the quarterback position.
The 49ers will start Colin Kaepernick at quarterback next season and at least appear willing to keep Alex Smith if they are unable to find a trade.
"Alex is really playing the best football of his career the last two years. We think we got the best quarterback situation in the National Football League, feel strongly about that. Again, that’ll be a process that plays out. Alex Smith continuing to be a 49er or if a trade occurs in the next weeks or months. Those are the two possibilities, most likely possibilities.”
Harbaugh was explicitly asked if it is unlikely that Smith will be released.
"That's unlikely," said Harbaugh.
The San Francisco 49ers have begun trying to trade Alex Smith.
The 49ers are expected to be bolstered in their attempts to trade Smith due to the lack of quality free agent quarterbacks available.

Smith, however, received relatively little interest last offseason as a free agent.
A team would need to send compensation to the 49ers, plus pay Smith his $8.5 million salary.
The 49ers could elect to steer Smith out of their division, for example, trading him to the Cleveland Browns in order to keep him from the Arizona Cardinals.
