If Alex wanted to stay on one team for the long haul, he should have not helped the backup so much. Need to look at it like a business and not as much like a team when you are in the meeting rooms dissecting the playbook or on the field trying to perfect your craft. Be 100% football teammate when you are simply chilling in the locker room talking about bbq recipes and making hangout plans, but don't reveal s**t when it comes to business.

Once the Chiefs traded for Mahomes and gave up 2 1st round picks, Alex was on a rapidly escalating countdown. His time in KC was over, sooner rather than later, regardless of what he did.

If he maintained his early production unlikely he is traded. But alas, he regressed to the curve as many do.

In regards to Alex being "too good of a teammate." I think that worked out for him, seeing as he got overpaid. I think he played his cards right. That's for damn sho...

We should wait and see what Cousins' contract is before saying Smith is overpaid. At this point talk is crazy--more than any other player in the NFL for Cousins? Ouch! But it's not my money and these guys are making what the market provides...so good for them!

Edit: to put Smith's contract in perspective--it's the first new contract of the year but only moves him into a tie for tenth place in the NFL. Once other contracts are signed that position will drop quickly...even though Snyder is known to throw money around like a drunken sailor!

Got to choose where he went in both trades. Definitely was rewarded for being a professional. If he was a dick, chiefs could've sent him to Cleveland for better picks where he would've possibly been franchised or offered a much shorter contract.

Yeah, but if he told the chiefs he wouldn't sign there not sure if they would wanna franchise him or give up a bunch of compensation. They probably want someone committed to their program as opposed to a disgruntled guy?

I don't get why people on here take alex so personal. Personal hate. It's odd to me. Fools were half chubb thinking he would get shipped to lowly Cleveland

Maybe Cleveland wouldn't have minded franchising him. They only wanted him short term while they drafted a qb anyways. Chiefs did him a solid by not forcing him to go there. Instead he got 3 years fully guaranteed. That's huge for a guy that'll be like 36 or something by then.


They probably hate the delusional Alex smith fans and it creates a ripple effect where they wanna see Alex do bad so they can say "I told you so". Really weird stuff lol

He'll do fine, probably .500 in 2018 because Washington has a tough schedule. But I think he will be in lame-duck purgatory again soon. It is his destiny.

I think once John Dorsey left, the Chiefs began looking down the road and at their salary cap and realized they could accomplish two goals at the same time: draft their future QB and solve their cap problem when that QB became capable of doing at least an adequate job.

If the Chiefs had not been able to land Mahomes, or if Mahomes were not considered ready, KC would have been in big-time trouble with the cap. They were $8M OVER the cap until the Smith trade. That is BIG-TIME TROUBLE.

Excellent points! Wonder what Reid's position is with the team. With Dorsey gone and turning to a young QB might Andy retire and let a young coach take over? I find it interesting that many felt Pedersen was riding Reid's coat tails but it now appears not to be the case.
