I'm not saying I don't like him, I do. But I don't think we should be throwing the bank at him just yet. I'm hoping he is the type of player that will put the team ahead of himself as far as the contract goes. Tall order, I know but he strikes me as someone that would do that.

Of course the Chiefs are going to extend Smith... it is what the Chiefs do.
Deberg- 4 years Grbac- 4 years Green- 6 years Cassel- 4 years The only exception that comes to mind is Montana, who retired after only 2 years (although I'm sure the Chiefs would have been happy to have him longer). Additionally, it is the only logical thing the Chiefs can do after painting themselves into a corner with Smith. If the Chiefs had signed Campbell or some other free-agent QB last year, they would likely be in better position to draft a QB this year. Having made the playoffs and picking 23rd, the Chiefs will have no shot at the best QB prospects in the draft (and won't likely have interest, in any case). Barring injury, Smith will be here for the forseeable future. |

Well, after watching how the team finished the season I'd say there are more pressing needs than QB. I say give him a deal.

I still think you are trolling.

Give him a deal but not a Cutler deal. Personally, I think Alex will work WITH the chiefs on a cap friendly deal that allows them to fill their holes because he is a smart enough QB to know he needs those holes filled.

Give him 3-4 years, he's been money in the playoffs in his career and that's when we need him most. The best thing about Alex is he's one of those guys who understands its the team over himself, his agent Tom Condon won't be so inclined to give us a discount though. I'd be happy with Alex for the next few years, as long as he doesn't Matt Cassel the deal and play like shit after a marginal season that got him the deal. I have a feeling he's not going to do that though.

I could extend Alex Smith with one socked foot. Hey don't judge me....

The only problem with a "cap friendly" deal is that is not in our long term interests. We need a front loaded deal that we can get out of in 4 years.

I would expect any contract he signs to be easy for the Chiefs to get out of after 3-4 years. I know the front side of the deal will cost more than the backside. I just don't want to overpay just because the market dictates it. Teams are overpaying for average QBs. Cutler is not worth anywhere near what he is getting. Neither was Flacco. I don't want to see the Chiefs make that same mistake.
