Coming from someone that thinks very little of Bruce, not even I suspected he would get bent over by Andy Reid like this for a second time. To make things even better, Smiths agent got sloppy seconds or thirds, dependent on how you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Trade term update: Washington is sending KC a third-round pick and an unidentified player for QB Alex Smith, per sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzys but compared to what they could have replaced Cousins with I guess it’s not the worst choice, we went from mediocre to an older version of mediocre imo. Cousins wasn't getting that much more than 23.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobandweave Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 @MatthewBerryTMR: Wow. Shocker. Bummed about Kirk - definitely wanted him to stay. But to be candid, Alex is a better QB than I thought we'd get.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar1156 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is far from worse case scenario. The contract and compensation is really not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Only thing I like about this is that it was a trade and not a free agent deal. Cousins compensatory pick is still in play. I wish his salary number were lower than 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 10 minutes ago, Jericho said: Thing of it is, this is actually the best buyer's market for QBs in a while. It seems at least two of Bradford/Keenum/Bridgewater will come available, as well as Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, probably Tyrod Taylor and maybe even Blake Bortles. Also possibly AJ McCarron. Not to mention a strong draft class. I think it would have been very possible to find a serviceable QB without forfeiting draft picks or picking up a player in their mid-30s. This just seems like a lose-lose move Out of the list you provided, excluding Kirk, Alex Smith is the best and most proven player on the list. Now, we have a QB long term. Yesterday we didn't. Today we can focus on a non-QB in the first round. Maybe a 3 down RB or DL, or my favorite an ILB. At 13, we could even pick the top TE in the draft. As of this news, the Redskins are more stable then they were yesterday. HTTR. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Kirk. (PS - this is the first time I really don't like Kirk.)

Jericho Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Isn't Smith the same age as McNabb when the Skins traded for him? I hope the player to be named is McClain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A 3rd rounder isn't that bad imo. At least Kirk can go somewhere with a team built to win around him. Honestly we DON'T have a championship team here and we're at least a few years away from that at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Why can we pay an over the hill 34yr old 23.5/yr but won’t pay someone better that’s 5yrs younger and in their prime 25-27/yr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Smith is better than Cousins. 70 mil over 4 years is high (Hopefully 23.5 in first year, making remianing contract even cheaper), but still 15-20 mil less than what Cousins will be getting in that same period. Please be S'ua leaving. I like the move if only a 3rd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I’m hearing Smith is getting 70 million guaranteed and 23.5 mil per year. You know what? I don’t care anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
