ColdFront_USAF Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Alex Smith has been playing well for KC, but they have his replacement already on the roster. What would you give up to obtain him, or would you not bother and plan on drafting one next year? I would think Dareus and a 2nd day pick could be enough to grab him, but would it be worth it long term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Alex Smith has been playing well for KC, but they have his replacement already on the roster. What would you give up to obtain him, or would you not bother and plan on drafting one next year? I would think Dareus and a 2nd day pick could be enough to grab him, but would it be worth it long term? Two questions. Why in the world would KC entertain trading him when the team is likely headed back to the playoffs again after the season? Why would the Bills want a 34 year old QB with so much work to be done to rebuild the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K D Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nah I'd rather take my chances on a draft pick on a rookie deal that are can keep for 10+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Nothing. I want the NUMBER ONE QB on Brandon Beane's board. That's the mission and the goal this year. Everything else is irrelevant. Want this crap to end once and for all? Get a franchise guy under center here next year and upgrade the line. This defense is ready now to win. Missing piece is QB and RT.

Boatdrinks Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Since the Bills attempted to trade for Smith previously ( back in 2013?) and the price then was a third and a fifth it sounds like a 3rd or 4th should do it. Debate the merits of an AS vs drafting an unknown with (multiple?) high picks if you will. That would strike me as about what his value is currently.

ColdFront_USAF Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Two questions. Why in the world would KC entertain trading him when the team is likely headed back to the playoffs again after the season? Why would the Bills want a 34 year old QB with so much work to be done to rebuild the roster? It's been announced/speculated that he will be on the trading block by the end of the season. Personally, I would rather take a qb in the draft, but I was wondering what other fans thought of getting someone that would make us relevant instantly. I would still prefer to have our drafted qb sit for a year, and Smith could keep us competitive while that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The time for this organization to go after Smith was a while ago, when he was falling out of favor in San Francisco and could be had. Instead we pursued other options that burned in flames. The window on Smith being a Bill is now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFront_USAF Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) https://deadseriousness.com/apparently-kansas-city-chiefs-placed-alex-smith-trading-block/ Here's a link citing bleacher report among others. If he could be had for cheap I think it would be a decent option to let our new qb learn while not sacrificing another year completely. He would be better in our system than TT as it fits his strengths more. He would basically be doing what he's doing now, being an effective bridge qb that could still take us to the playoffs with this current defense.

MAJBobby Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 You could trade for him. At end of year has 1 year 17M non guaranteed left on contract (Might need to redo it to get him to come maybe make it two years and give some guarantees) And still draft your rookie QB. Seems not the smartest move because you likely will already tie alot of draft assets into your new rookie (thinking gonna have to trade up) to give more Draft assets in the QB position for a 34 year old QB you hope your rookie likey beats out doesnt seem smart use of draft capital.

Thought it would be a good change of pace instead of the standard "Tyrod sucks" or "Fire our front office after 2 games" posts. But !@#$ me for asking questions on a message board.
