Chiefs Would you resign Alex Smith to Matt Cassel like money right now, today? - Page 4

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-06-2014, 11:35 AM

Just like it says. Would you give Alex a 5-6 year deal for somewhere between $50-$65 million to keep him as our franchise QB right now, today?

As hard as this place has been on him, I'm curious where we're at after watching him progress through the season, and play IMO, his best game ever last Saturday.

Yo we dont think you are as good as Jay Cutler, so here's 60 million?

Alex would say **** off.

I don't think Alex Smith looks at the financial part of this deal the same as other quarterbacks.

The guy gives a shitton of his money to charity, signed a team friendly deal to stay the starter in SF after taking his team to the NFC championship game, has actually given money back to the team in restructures and is a PURE team first guy.

While I don't think he would sign for 10/yr...I do think he would sign for something around 12-14.

He knows there aren't many places he can go that has the opportunity to start as well as a coaching staff that would use him the way Andy will.

The guy made a sick amount of money already and seems to want to win at this point of his career...he will be 30 in may.

Whats your argument for giving him $100m?

"LOL!LO!L!O!L look at Flacco?"

Ya look at Flacco. He got his money after getting a ring.

I've got no problem with the money aspect....I just think 6 years is a little much. If we do give him a new contract....I don't think he'll hit $100 million. He'll probably be closer to $80-$90 million.

Wait until the very end to do it. It gives time for more evaluation.

I'm the GM, Alex Smith has he leverage/argument for 100m not me.

I don't want him at that price, but if Alex Smith has a smart agent, that's the price to keep him.

Why wouldn't it be? It's not 2008 anymore where you can lock a guy up for 5/60 like Matt Cassel.

Romo and Cutler say hi. Alex can make the case he's better then both them.

**Easy 6** · 01-06-2014, 12:06 PM

We need to lock him up for atleast three years and hope that he understands that the more he gets, the less we have to field a complete team around him.

I'm betting he'll be reasonable in exchange for the peace of mind that comes with knowing he wont be kicked to the curb after an injury, that he is, in fact, The Man in KC.

It would take 6 years for Alex to catch Romo in TD passes if Romo retired today and they've been playing for the same amount of years.

That's why Alex will get a bigger deal than Cassel did. That was the going rate for a starting QB 5 years ago.

View Poll Results: Is Alex YOUR QB of the future for that kind of deal?
Yes. Give it to him today.	59	72.84%
No. I don't care about ANY retreads under ANY circumstances. Draft a guy, or bust!	6	7.41%
I'd resign Alex, but not for those years, or that money. I'll detail what I would do, below.	15	18.52%
Gaz would do this, but only if he could go both ways and play defense.	1	1.23%
