Alright, onto the latest Kansas City Chiefs news and notes from around the internet, including an interesting piece about quarterback Alex Smith. Enjoy.

Chiefs want Smith to test limits – Adam Teicher of ESPN.com

"But the Chiefs had just four pass plays of 35 yards or longer last season, three fewer than the next lowest team and 20 fewer than the league leader. It’s no wonder the Chiefs finally collapsed under the weight of their balky offense toward the end of the season, when they kicked eight field goals and scored one touchdown in the final two games in failing to make the playoffs."

"Which is another roundabout way of saying that, yes, inside linebacker Derrick Johnson was sorely missed after a torn right Achilles wiped out his last 15 1/2 games of 2014. And that yes, when trusty No. 56 sits out pretty much the entire week of organized team activities — as he has since June 2, barring warm-ups — with inflammation in his right knee, it does raise the blood pressure a tad."
