Hunt confirms talks with Alex Smith for new contract
Clark Hunt confirms Alex Smith, KC Chiefs are talking new contract
By Joel Thorman  @JoelThorman on Feb 12 2014, 7:53a 254

The owner of the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed that the team is speaking with Alex Smith's reps about a new deal.

When we last left Alex Smith, he said he wasn't sure if the Kansas City Chiefs and his reps were talking about a new contract. Now Clark Hunt confirms that, indeed, the two sides are talking about a new deal.

Hunt, who made the national media rounds during Super Bowl week, talked with Bob Fescoe and Josh Klingler on 610 Sports on Tuesday morning and there were questions about Alex Smith, who has one year left on his current contract.

But ... Hunt briefly discussed the negotiations anyway, even breaking some minor news.

"We have begun the dialogue with his representatives," he said. "Where it goes or whether it's something that gets done here in the offseason or during the season or perhaps even at the end of the season, I really don't know how that's going to play out."

This shows you that it's "when" Alex gets a new deal, no longer "if".

As far as I know, this is the first time anyone with the Chiefs have publicly confirmed that they are talking with Alex's camp about a new long-term deal. And, by the way, Hunt indicated that long-term, to him, means 3-5 years, which is about what we thought.

Hunt left the door wide open as to when this deal could get done. He mentioned this offseason, during next season or even at the end of next season. That's quite the range, which suggests that they're not very far into this negotiation process.

I'm as anxious as anyone to find out what those numbers will look like. We don't have any idea what kind of deal they're talking about. $12 million per year? $17 million? Bueller?

Alex Smith's stats, the trade, his Pro Bowl appearance, all the wins, playing his best in the playoffs ... he has a lot going for him, which all adds up to large numbers on a contract. Add in the fact that quarterbacks are just really expensive to begin with and there are reasons to believe this will get very pricey.

On the flip side, Alex Smith isn't Aaron Rodgers, out there winning games on his own. Everyone thinks paying Jay Cutler $100+ million is insane and many people will think it's crazy to do the same to Alex.

I guess what I'm saying here is that I don't know how this thing will go. I will predict, however, that this negotiation will not get contentious and it will not be filled with leaks. We shall wait.

Don't worry Casshole opted out of his contract and is now available for you guys. He will fit in perfect there.

5 years and 60 million would probably do it-and you have the cap room for such an awesome contract!!

Sure. The rag arm descriptions were never really accurate.

Most who expressed concern about his ability to throw it downfield always were questioning his WILL, not his skill.

That throw doesn't address THAT particular critique... but it does show him making a play you need competent NFL QBs to make. So that part is great.

He did his job on this play and delivered the throw ... but you SHOULD expect ANY NFL QB to make that throw when his WR has toasted the defender by 5-6 steps.

The great part of this play was Avery toasting the DB, not the delivery of the ball.

That's a throw ANY competent NFL QB makes (and before you reference Matt Cassel, remember I said COMPETENT).
The majority of NFL QBs are not consistent at climbing the pocket and delivering throws down the field like this in high-pressure/playoff games.


Alex isn't consistent at this either but this was a step in the right direction.

I still think it makes a certain amount of sense to wait another year before going down this road. A higher sample size of games is going to lead to a more accurate gauge of his production in this offense, which will result in a more fair contract for both sides.

I don't think it's surprising. It's not exactly the easiest thing to do, especially when most QBs are taught to roll out and run/throw OB/avoid the sack.

I wouldn't be in any hurry on a new deal. I'd let him play and see how things go by mid season. His price may go up if he is doing really good but if he starts to show regression & last season was much about our competition then we wont be stuck with him for 2015 or longer.

he avoided the rush and kept his eyes downfield
didn't panic and rush the throw
