Market for Alex Smith will be strong, Ian Rapoport says
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network thinks the Chiefs could get a solid trade haul in return for Alex Smith.
Kirk Larrabee - 3 hours ago 0

The Kansas City Chiefs should have no problem finding a trade partner for Alex Smith this offseason and could come away with a strong haul in return, according to insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Rapoport, who reported over the weekend the Chiefs would be listening to offers for Smith this offseason, was a guest on The Day Shift on 610 Sports Radio Kansas City Monday, where he was asked about the level of interest in Alex Smith and whether or not the Chiefs will be able to trade him.

"A lot," Rapoport said. "A lot, and yes."

Smith is coming off his best statistical season of his career as he threw for 4,042 yards in 2017 with 26 touchdowns, five interceptions, and a 104.7 passer rating. Rapoport says it's that performance along with what Smith can bring to a team's quarterback room that makes him such a hot commodity.

"He was number one in the NFL in passer rating," Rapoport said. "He is a great person, so if you trade for him and then draft a quarterback high, you will get someone who's going to help him. All you need to do is ask Patrick Mahomes. It's actually an amazing thing what a great person Alex Smith is because he's dealt with a lot of crap in his career despite mostly awesome and has come out the other side of it."

There have been several teams speculated to be good fits for Smith, with different situations among each of them. There's the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills, playoff teams that are still fighting quarterback woes; there's the Arizona Cardinals, a team whose starting quarterback, Carson Palmer, just retired, but still has enough talent to be competitive next season; and there's a team like the Cleveland Browns, who might be interested in acquiring Smith to not just help the team start winning again but to be a mentor to a quarterback they might select in the draft.

The latter situation might not seem like an ideal one to many quarterbacks, but Smith has done it before, and Rapoport thinks he might not have a problem doing it again.

"If I was a franchise quarterback, would I really want to help the guy who is brought in to replace me? I don't know," Rapoport said. "For some ridiculous reason, Alex Smith has done it several times, and he's continued to be a great guy. He's going to end up benefiting from all this because first of all, he's probably going to wind up being traded somewhere great. Second of all, I think his legacy will sort of live on and people will know what a good person he is."

Trading Smith would free up $17 million in cap space for the Chiefs, a much-needed amount for a team currently projected to be over the cap next year, and would also allow them to replenish some of the draft picks they traded away in multiple trades in recent months. It cost a 2013 second round pick and a 2014 conditional pick (which turned out to be another second round pick) for the Chiefs to acquire Smith from the San Francisco 49ers in 2013, and Rapoport thinks the Chiefs could get even more in return for Smith than that.

"I think they might do better this time," Rapoport said. "He is a hot commodity, and they are in unbelievable position."

Hopefully he gets to go to that hell hole called Cleveland. Man that'd really suck for him. Jax is at least a decent area. Cleveland is a shit hole.

Why? "Alex's demeanor and consistency can win games, and put yourself in position to win Championships."

Right on, bro. Right on.

( though Smith in that orange is pretty gross... and Elway? gross )

There aren't any intelligent Broncos fans

Wow

If you think a pro player is going to pass a physical 5 days before he gets 19M guaranteed, you are dreaming. Passing the physical mostly depends on a players description of how he feels and his symptoms. Probably not healed anyway https://t.co/C3zeGudcSX

True but I don't think a Bronco's fan saying he wants Alex 'Montana' Smith as his QB is an unintelligent statement.

Why wouldn't the Broncos want Smitty as their QB? At worst he is a huge upgrade to what they currently have.

I bet Dee Ford's back is going to be killing him when he goes and takes his physical.

Youre wrong because even saying "Alex Montana Smith" puts you over the borderline from spazz into full blown reerun.

Following that by saying "I want Alex Montana Smith as my QB" degrades your IQ even further into straight up vegetable/ brain injury status.

In my opinion, I’d say we are better than Cleveland (mostly because of the consistent losing seasons), but worse than Jax as they been to 2 AFCCG’s in their short existence which started years after our last AFCCG. Jax has had some pretty shit years, but they’ve still accomplished more than KC has since their inception! Also I like Coughlin and think he’s gonna be a good fit as their GM.
