95.7 The Game's John Middlekauff is reporting that the Kansas City Chiefs might be out of the race to bring back CB Sean Smith. Instead, it is likely now a two-team race between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders.

Smith, a 2009 draft selection out of Utah by the Miami Dolphins, has had 353 tackles, 10 interceptions, three forced fumbles, 81 passes deflected, and a defensive touchdown over his career.
