Chiefs to acquire 49ers quarterback Alex Smith

Alex Smith is headed to Kansas City, the first major acquisition by the Chiefs since Andy Reid took over as coach.

A person with knowledge of the trade told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the Chiefs have agreed to a deal for the 2005 top overall draft pick, who lost his starting quarterback job in San Francisco to Colin Kaepernick last season.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade does not become official until March 12, when the NFL’s new business year begins.

Another person familiar with the deal said the 49ers will get a second-round draft pick in April, No. 34 overall, and a conditional pick in the 2014 draft.

Grand jury doesn’t indict Hunter’s son

A Texas grand jury voted not to indict the 17-year-old son of former Angels outfielder Torii Hunter on felony sexual assault charges, and the case was dismissed Wednesday, according to John Schomburger, a Collin County assistant district attorney.

“This was the ultimate test for my family for the last nine months,” Hunter, who signed a two-year, $26-million deal with the Detroit Tigers in November, said in a text message. “My son is a stronger person by going through this process. We’re looking forward to restoring his good name.”

Darius McClinton-Hunter, a Prosper High student and aspiring college football player, was arrested last May and charged with the sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony.

Hunter left the Angels for two weeks in May to tend to his son and family, and the case weighed heavily on the right fielder during a 2012 season in which he hit .313 with 16 home runs and 92 runs batted in. Darius was not allowed to attend classes at Prosper and was forced to enroll in an alternative school.

But according to Todd Shapiro, Hunter’s lawyer, the girl who made the allegations against McClinton-Hunter reached out to a family friend of the Hunters and recanted her story a week after the incident. After an eight-month investigation, the grand jury determined there was not enough evidence against McClinton-Hunter to prosecute.
