It is exceedingly early to worry about this sort of thing, but Bradford and Smith could both be playing for a new contract this season. Bradford likely controls his future. If he plays at a high level all season in Minnesota, the free agent-to-be will be able to name his price, regardless of how Teddy Bridgewater's recovery from injury comes along. A strong season from Smith could help the Chiefs on two fronts: allowing talented-but-raw rookie Patrick Mahomes to ease into his NFL career while making Smith more attractive in a potential trade next offseason. The final year of Smith's contract in 2018 carries a $17 million price tag, which should be an enticing figure for a team looking to get over the quarterback hump with an experienced, quality starter.
