Alex Smith's days with the Kansas City Chiefs could be numbered.

The Chiefs are expected to listen to offers for their veteran quarterback after the season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes II turned heads with his play in the preseason and is expected to take over for Smith at some point.

Smith himself seems to think he'll be gone in the offseason, as he recently stated he believes he'll be playing for a new team in 2018.

The Chiefs traded up to take Mahomes 10th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft and Smith is set to make $14.5 million next season, so it's likely Kansas City tries to go with the cheaper option at the position.
