Not elite, but Jason Campbell has played at the level we're getting out of Alex Smith and would have been free in terms of draft pick cost AND cost much less in salary (he's currently on a two-year, $3.75 million deal).
I wouldn't give Cutler $100 million, but $75 million/7 or something like that? Sure.
Resigning Alex Smith is going to take you at least into that territory in AAV. They're the same age, Cutler is a better QB, and Cutler's skill set is going to age better than Alex Smith's (since Cutler doesn't rely on his legs at all).
