We have no problem paying it to someone else. BA needs fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZRagone Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So if it's Smith, with that contract, for a 3rd and Su'a And Cousins signs somewhere for over $30 per year Then I don't LIKE the trade, but I can at least not feel like I want to ram my head into a wall over it.

KevinthePRF Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is a wash at QB. Expecting a youngster in the next two drafts. The win is with cap flexibility and draft/free agency planning. Don't have to sign an average qb to elite numbers, don't have to twiddle thumbs all offseason again waiting for Kirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk doesn't want to be here, get rid of him. We dont need a QB who doesn't want to be here as teh leader of this team Statue thing was just because he's old. I've also been up since 6:30 AM EST on January 29, 2018. So I may be a little bit more delirious than usual. He absolutely wants to be here as the leader of the team, we were just major effing idiots since 2015. I bet that crap shoot draft guru Doug Williams has a fantastic plan to get the next late-round gem like Brady or Carr or Prescott or Wilson or KIRK EFFING COUSINS OMG WHY WON'T THIS AMBIEN PUT ME TO SLEEP!!!

We don't have the running game to support a statue like Smith. And then we give up a third, too?! AND A GOD DAMNED PLAYER?!?!?! Very reactionary prediction for the season: 5-11. Back to the drawing board. I can't ****ing believe this. Staute? Look I can understand people not being happy about this - opinions clearly vary! But have you ever seen him play? He’s very mobile.

Voice_of_Reason Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Assuming the reporting of a 3rd, average of 23.5M/year is true, depending on “the player to be named tomorrow,” I don’t hate this. Kirk wasn’t coming back, wanted out. So this ends that ridiculous drama. All the “why not just pay Kirk more” comments assume Kirk would sign. He wouldn’t have, so it’s not a viable option. I hope they ship Reed out to KC. He can’t stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 For people wanting Reed to be 'player to be named', consider our apparent new QB. If anybody should be excited by this move it's Reed. Smith will get him 80-90 catches a year if he stays healthy. Chris Thompson better start amping up rehab to, because he will get his as well.

Jericho Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 5 minutes ago, abdcskins said: A lot depends on who the player is tomorrow. Alex Smith is 33 years old by the way, I see a few people saying he is 34-35. He's 33 this instant, but he turns 34 in May, meaning he'll be almost 34.5 years old by the time he takes his first regular season snap. So calling him 34 makes some logical sense. That's what the Redskins will be getting for next season. Sadly, it turns out McNabb was actually younger when the team traded for him. And McNabb was washed up within a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t believe in him enough to pay him what he’s worth and you don’t have an alternative so you just kick the can down the road until next year. It sas was a clear sign to him that we didn’t want him. We could have had him for $25 mil and 70 guarantees last offseason but we didn’t. Now suddenly we are ok to pay Alex smith that?

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Most of the folks praising this move are folks that I vehemently disagree with on the regular and usually end up wrong when they are pumped about something. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 When our former pick comes up in the 3rd round in April and we're all sitting with our thumbs up our collective asses, I want all the homers who are cool with this right now to remember how they felt. Giving up a premium pick and that cheap rookie contract to save $5-6M per year and get older. So we can, what, sign another McClain or two? It wasn't about that. It was done because we ruined any chance to re-sign Kirk. Both in our treatment of him and in our idiotic usage of the franchise tag on a QB raising the floor on a potential contract at each stage, making him nearly impossible to justify signing. Genius. I actually like Smith more than most I see talking about him in this thread. For a 34 yesr old QB. We don't have the freakish talent that is Tyreek Hill so he won't throw those bombs for us, he'll revert back to captain checkdown. But in Gruden's WCO he'll be pretty good, especially if we ever get a running game. But that's not the point, this was mismanaged horribly. This is so clearly a panic trade to attempt to save Gruden and Allen's jobs, because we ****ed things up beyond belief with our HOMEGROWN franchise QB. We once again let talent we drafted walk in favor of giving up draft assets to pay an older player we didn't develop. Wonderful. All to save an amount of money that won't change our fortunes, if we were even smart enough to not waste it on the type of guys Allen usually signs.
