Andy Reid Tried Trading For Alex Smith As Eagles Coach

When the San Francisco 49ers no longer had use for Alex Smith last season, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid jumped on a chance to trade a pair of draft picks for the veteran passer.

For the newly hired Reid, it was a trade many years in the making. That's because he "called the 49ers multiple times to inquire about trading for Smith" during his run with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to The New York Times.

Now the two are together in Kansas City, and Smith told the newspaper they bear the "scars" of what's come before. Unlike the 49ers, Reid doesn't see prohibitive limitations in Smith, saying: "He loves to play, and he's tough."

Airdropped into a Chiefs franchise that bottomed out last season, Reid and Smith are, at last, a pair.

"We'd love to stick it to everybody who thought we couldn't do it," said Smith, "he and I included."

The Chiefs are one of the more intriguing teams for me this year. I'm really interested to see how Reid and Smith work together...

 

still looks weird to see andy in KC red

 

Dark green and black was much more slimming.

 

It's all photoshopped.

 

Screw both of em...:fu09:

 

Sweets means that sexually. Who doesn't want to lick Andy's stache after he's had some ribs?

 

Not surprised, Andy luvs him sum checkdowns.

 

I wish he thought that way since TO was on the team. Hold on to the ball until someone is open deep....
