If there was ever a QB to buck the trend of greed and ego, it is Alex Smith. I too am not sure of what he would find acceptable... but I do agree with others that team success far outweighs his interest in the almighty dollar. He is too smart and humble to not appreciate that the less he takes, the better it helps pay others that can help him succeed. He will want a few years locked in for the security and peace of mind... so a 5 year deal with those 3 years plus a couple more that are more fluff than reality? .. I think he accepts that.
