Alex Smith Talks Progressing Slowly

[KcMizzou]

InMen, you do understand that QB's don't compete directly against one another, right?

It's not ****ing tennis.

[BossChief]

If Hali and Houston never get hurt against SD, I bet last years team makes it to the AFC Championship game.

[BossChief]

Adam Schefter said on NFL insiders today that Alex will most likely get an extension before the start of 2014. That's interesting because we don't have much cap space left (around 5 million) and the rookies get paid out of that amount.

That leaves about 2m left unless someone else also signs an extension that lowers his cap number (Berry, Hali, etc)....that would mean Alex would be signing a contract that would have a low first year salary and bigger cap numbers in the future.

Not sure how I feel about that because if the total deal averages lets say 16 million and his first year only hits for 9, that means he would have to have a year or 2 with a cap hit near or above 20m.

And now people are starting to understand why we stayed quiet. I am sure he signs with a high bonus and a very low base for year 1. Probably a third year roster bonus kicker. Won't be hard to make him cap friendly without moving a lot of contracts around. I am hoping the chiefs are considering Murray so they can cut Daniel and then you extend Berry to save some money.

He's already under contract for this season. Why does this year's cap matter?

They can make cap room anytime they really want.

[O.city]

Surely they're planning on doing something with berry.

[BossChief]

My biggest nightmare (that's actually realistic, too) is that Alex gets an extension similar to Cutler this offseason and Eric Fisher gets him on IR.

[Coochie liquor]

I'd say pay him $15 and hope he accepts. We have a lot of players contracts coming around next year so the sooner we start locking the good ones in the better.

[BigMeatballDave]

@ InMen's dumbassery.

[Coochie liquor]

Awe how cute!!

[Jimmya]

I'd be ecstatic with a 15 million per year.

I can't wat for the season to start. All you idiots will see that's he's nothing more than an upgraded Cassel. Save this message. 9-7 and we will miss playoffs. As long as Smith is under center I hope you enjoy your mediocre seasons.

Team is going to the playoffs tough schedule or not...Alex will be a big part. Deal with it. *Thanks big wang!*
