joewilly12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Alex Smith Rumors: Chiefs to Explore Trade; Ian Rapoport Links Browns, Cardinals SCOTT POLACEKJANUARY 7, 2018 Charlie Riedel/Associated Press Quarterback Alex Smith's tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs may be over following a 22-21 playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. On Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said the Chiefs "are going to explore trade options" regarding their signal-caller and pointed to the team's belief that Patrick Mahomes is the quarterback of the future as a driving factor. Rapoport named the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals as potential landing sports for Smith, noting "his value is never going to be higher:" The Browns and Cardinals make sense as destinations considering Cleveland is still searching for stability at the position following an 0-16 mark in its 10th straight losing season and Arizona is looking for a quarterback after Carson Palmer retired.Trading for Smith would also allow the Browns to address other areas of need with the Nos. 1 and 4 picks in the 2018 NFL draft. While Saturday's loss—the Chiefs blew a 21-3 third-quarter lead at home against the Tennessee Titans—is fresh, it didn't take away from what Smith did during the regular season. He set career highs with 4,042 passing yards and 26 touchdown throws and only tossed five interceptions—his fewest since 2012, when he was with the San Francisco 49ers. The two-time Pro Bowler led Kansas City to a 10-6 record and the AFC West title and didn't appear to be slowing down at age 33. The Chiefs, however, paid a significant price to land Mahomes: They traded the No. 27 overall pick and a third-round pick in the 2017 draft as well as a first-round pick in the 2018 draft to the Buffalo Bills to move up to No. 10 to select the Texas Tech product. Trading Smith would open the door for the 22-year-old, and Kansas City would get something in return as it makes the transition at quarterback.

bla bla bla Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 He'll go to the Browns, they can offer the highest 2nd round pick if needed (they have 3) and Dorsey traded for him from the 49ers when he was GM of KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbatesman Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Good enough to make sure no one gets fired, not good enough to win anything. I fully expect us to give up both of our second rounders for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustiniak Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If the browns got smith and were willing to trade the top pick i wonder if mccags would really pursue it. The browns could still take a qb a 4 or in round 2 if they wanted. It would cost a lot but wouldn't it be ironic if the jets traded for the top pick and then the giants were at the mercy of the jets .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidO Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Browns get Smith, makes them more likely to trade their number 1 pick to stockpile talent.

Rangers9 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 After yesterday you assume he is gone. I like him over other FA vets but not for draft picks. I'd prefer signing someone for free. If the Bills cut Tyrod I'd go for that. But there will be a number of good vets available cheaper than Alex and just as good as he is. Plus we should draft a Qb.

bla bla bla Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'd love if this opened up the #1 pick but I think Dorsey is okay with Smith for 1 year and then franchising him if need be and let Darnold sit a year or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing anyone in this thread demanding we trade or sign Alex Smith, my stance is he's better than McCown,Petty,Hackenberg FTR.

varjet Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Giving up anything higher than a 5th round draft pick for Alex Smith would be a complete disaster. We are better off with McCown, even if for similar money with incentives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good QB. With a great team, you can win with him. But he is not the solution to this teams decades long search for a QB, plus it's not like you are just signing him for 6 milion a year. You are assuming his rather large contract AND giving away a pick. I'd MUCH prefer Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'd say about that is if you didn't extend his deal when traded for, he's only got one year left on his contract which gives you a lot of flexibility going forward. If you sign Cousins to a multi yr $100+ mill contract and it goes sour that can have cap implications for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
