Tipster19 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I said in somebody’s post that there is somebody out there that nobody is talking about and then it just hit me about Alex Smith. It’s a perfect scenario for both parties, Buffalo and Smith. Don’t forget about the Andy Reid connection. McDermott likes to move in the same mode as old Andy. There’s only 2 things to know more about with Smith. a.) Where is Smith at in his rehabilitation. b.) Does Smith still want to play. If memory serves me correctly both counts are moving in a positive way, he’s doing good in his rehabilitation and that he still wants to play. 2 2
Bangarang Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Have you forgotten that he’s still on the Redskins? 2 1

JaCrispy Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I like it...he is a vet and a proven winner...could probably help Josh more than Barkley.... 2

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Redskins have no incentive to release him. his 2020 salary was originally guaranteed for injury and became guaranteed anyway on 3/17/19 since he was not released. he is only going to be released in 2021. so this topic is moot even if Smith is miraculously playing competitive football. i don’t know if OP is thinking of a trade .. but he will count as 16 mill against the cap and we don’t have that kinda cap space for a backup wb. 4
The Fiend Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I am not sure if Alex Smith would accept a backup role.
The Firebaugh Kid Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Always liked Alex. If healthy I'd absolutely kick the tires.
Orlando Buffalo Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 If you mean as a coach I would be on board because he was a less athletic version of Josh- but the dude will never play on an NFL game again effectively.
Buffalo03 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Where the hell do people come up with this word that starts with an S and ends with a T, with an H and an I in the middle? I mean seriously 1 2

BuffaloBills1998 Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 I thought Smith retired because of his injury.

And the last time I heard about him, he was contemplating retirement, so excuse me 22 minutes ago, MJS said: Flacco looked pretty bad. Not sure he'd be an upgrade over Barkley. Also Flacco got cut from Denver cause he didn’t pass his physical. Edited April 5, 2020 by BuffaloBills1998

We've seen the positive effect of Barkleyon Allen. What evidence is their Smith would be better? 2 hours ago, below said: How about Flacco, who is an actual FA? Barkley is better.
MJS Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Here are a couple potential options: Trevor Siemian Mike Glennon Blake Bortles ...Not the best options, but all of them have won games in this league. Bortles would be interesting. He has a lot of starting experience and he is fairly mobile. He has playoff experience.
