Redskins signed QB Alex Smith to a four-year extension through 2022.

As part of the agreement on the trade to get Smith to D.C., the Skins are giving Smith some long-term security, as he had just one year left on his contract through 2018. He's now under contract through his age-38 season. It very well may be his last contract. The Redskins didn't seem to have a prayer to re-sign free agent Kirk Cousins after burning so many bridges with their "franchise" quarterback. Acquiring Smith and paying him less was the next best thing.

Even if we paid Cousins, no way he signs with the Bills.

"At least six other teams expressed some form of interest in Smith."

He has looked like a totally different player the last 10 plus games, and I'm not talking like a return to what we've seen previously either.

Sure looks like he is turning the corner, but time will tell.

He was terrific tonight. If you had switched the jersey number I wouldn't have known it was Reinhart.

Guhle/Blank
McCabe/Blank
Scandella/Risto


That’s what we need to strive for

TY . It helps . Was in a suite with NJ fans and Habs fans . Wasn't that bad . Pickling on each others team and fans was what made the night . Free beers and food helped too.

Honestly i'd give it an A-....got a bit shakey in the middle...but for the most part it was dignified and had a very positive message and vision.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns also attempted to trade for Alex Smith before he was dealt to the Redskins.

The offers were likely similar from both the Redskins and Browns, and ultimately it was likely Smith's decision. Smith admitted earlier on Tuesday in an interview with The Dan Patrick Show that he'd like to join a contender while scoffing at the notion of joining the Browns. Upon agreement of the trade, the Redskins also gave Smith a four-year extension, something Smith likely won't have signed in Cleveland coming off a 1-31 record the last two years. New Browns GM John Dorsey will have to turn his attention elsewhere. He may dip into the Kirk Cousins market, but it's also hard to see Cousins going there after talking about his desire to win.

Redskins signed QB Alex Smith to a four-year, $94 million extension through 2022.

He gets $71 million guaranteed. As part of the agreement on the trade to get Smith to D.C., the Skins are giving Smith some long-term security, as he had just one year left on his contract through 2018. He's now under contract through his age-38 season. It very well may be his last contract.

That's a lot of cake in guarantees. Holy poop. Are we sure that's not a typo and it should read $17M?
