Hypothetical: Would you trade Alex Smith for Peyton Manning?
In this hypothetical, assume that Peyton will come back for at least one more season.
Also assume that, by giving up each player, each team rids itself of the remaining contract and picks up the tab on the other as far as cap hits are concerned. The trade is straight up. Player for player. Contract for contract. I want to say Peyton's cap hit will be around $20 million next year and I think Alex is somewhere around $15 million (but keep in mind that we're basically locked into having Smith here for the next two seasons if he's still on the roster come opening day of 2015). Would you make that trade? |

Two years ago yes. Now no.
And that is in no way because I want Smith here. |

Does Manning retire after the trade? If so, yes.
Free way to get out of Alex's terrible contract. Would we even get a comp pick? |

doesn't a single season of Manning cost about 50% of Alex Smith's entire contract?

I see. You're pulling an NBA, trade for a player just to cut them.
We can get the same results by trading/cutting Alex Smith before next year starts. His guaranteed money doesn't kick in until next year.
