LNBS: What if Dorsey extends Alex for 3-4 years at backup compensation...
Please read op before voting.

I thought about this earlier today...

I highly doubt any team out there is going to give Alex very much in FA in terms of making a commitment to him as the starter. More than likely, he will have a hard time getting more than a 2 year deal on the open market, and not for top dollar.

Let's say John Dorsey sits down with Alex and they hammer out a deal that lowers Alex's cap this year and next and keeps him in KC as the backup to finish his career. Maybe the next 3-4 years.

Something like 4 years for 35-40 million dollars with a signing bonus similar to his 17m cap hit for 2017.

Cap hits by year (projected)

10
13
7
7

The deal would be contingent on Alex understanding that a big part of the contract is helping to groom Mahomes to be the starter and that the majority of the contract he will be played out as a backup.

Honestly, I think this would be a wise move for Alex and Dorsey.

It would create cap space for the team. That's huge with contracts for guys like Jones, Peters, Ford, Hill and others coming up in the next 3 years.
It would provide the team with great stability at the position, regardless of injuries. The team would need to get a backup. What better get backup than Alex Smith? Seriously, he would be the perfect premium backup for a Super Bowl team.

The idea of Tyler Bray as the vet backup kinda scares me. Alex isn't a complete waste. If it's reasonable in regards to the $, I'd have no problem with him staying.

Look what they have paid Foles and Daniel to be the vet backup in the past...

Fine, there are Josh McCown/Case Keenum/Matt Barkley types available every year that won't cost much if you want a more experienced backup

I don't mind him being the back up, but that cap number is outrageous.

His current cap number is over 17m for 2017 and next years is over 20m.

Alex said in an interview a couple weeks ago that he would love to help the team in any way with his contract. Dorsey was asked about it and said he might talk to Alex after the draft about it.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a deal like this happen.

The more I think about the details about Alex's departure from KC the more I think he may end up retiring if he doesn't get offered a deal similar to the one I suggested.
Absolutely, he'll have trade value. What that level will be is an unknown, but he's a starting caliber QB in the NFL, even if it is bottom 3rd, so it's likely around a 3rd. All the team has to do is give him permission to speak with other teams about a new deal. It wouldn't be something new in the NFL. Also, it's not like teams that are desperate haven't paid for 1-year rentals at QB anyhow.

In an offense that's tough to learn, do you want your backup QB to also be a rookie that's not only learning everything from the ground up, but also likely wanting to try to earn playing time?...cause the FA pool of QBs is gonna be very thin. Go peek at overthecap.

Don't want to give Alex 7m per to be the backup?

Ok, but give me some alternatives.
I'd have to say my list would be Matt Moore, Mark Sanchez, Derek Anderson, Case Keenum, or re-sign Bray.

Yeah "why pay Alex 7 when we can pay Derek Anderson or Mark Sanchez?"

Right before the draft Dorsey was asked about that comment and said he was focused on the draft 100% and would discuss those kinds of things after the draft.
