He has a year left on his current deal, and then we can franchise him the following season. He knows that, and knows he came off one of his better seasons and that if the doesnt take the money now, he risks injury or a drop in his performance which would be reflected in any other contract offered down the road by us, or any other team.
Alex Smith does not have the leverage in this scenario.
We aren't drafting a QB in the first. Guranteed.

you don't know whether Smith is asking big or not
He absolutely has leverage, we gave the 34 pick of the draft and another 2nd for him.
The.34th.pick....
two 2nd rounders for a guy on the bench .....
we got robbed on that trade so to not have the contract situation work out now would be disastrous. The Chiefs have to sign him or trade him for similar value or they look like shit. Alex Smith's agent knows this.
