The Chiefs didn't sign Smith, making this an exercise in futility.

The ONLY reason to make trades like the Chiefs made for Clark is to WIN A SUPER BOWL.
Considering that's exactly what happened, while Clark was dominant in the playoffs, I'd say it was a fantastic deal that paid the dividends they as a franchise were expecting.
