Kirk Cousins is probably a better quarterback than Smith. The Redskins would have liked to keep Cousins, but they are very stupid, so they offered him a half-assed contract after last year and prayed he would take it.

Cousins is very smart (contrary to popular belief) and had no intention of signing with them, ever. This news probably has him partying tonight, while Alex Smith must be (very) pissed off lol!

Smith has a multi year, multi million dollar contract while Cousins doesn’t have a job now. Don’t think he’s feeling that happy about things right now.

Redskins signed QB Alex Smith to a four-year extension through 2022.

As part of the agreement on the trade to get Smith to D.C., the Skins are giving Smith some long-term security, as he had just one year left on his contract through 2018. He's now under contract through his age-38 season. It very well may be his last contract. The Redskins didn't seem to have a prayer to re-sign free agent Kirk Cousins after burning so many bridges with their "franchise" quarterback. Acquiring Smith and paying him less was the next best thing.

:eek:

Will the Redskins make the playoffs with Alex Smith as their QB?

No matter who their QB is, they need a running game and they need receivers that will catch the ball. Main thing wrong with Washington wasn’t the QB spot, it was/is the supporting cast

Guess it depends on if Ezekiel Elliot can stay out of trouble. The Eagles will be good for the next four years at least.

Yep. I'm thinking it will be difficult for them to make the playoffs in that division for the next few years

Kirk will get a lot of money from some team and he's thrilled it's not the Redskins. I would be, lol!

Kirk Cousins is the luckiest mofo alive. He absolutely fleeced the Redskins the past few years, who paid him like a franchise QB, and now will get to play somewhere else where he might actually have a chance to win something.

There are two thing to be said here.

The first is a hearty L.O.L. at the redskins, who not only butchered the Kirk situation but also you just KNOW they gave up way too much for Smith and it may even have been a first rounder, in which case many people I know might just become apoplectic, although that's their fault for being skins fans.

The second is that Alex Smith despite being a little...limited, shall we say, is by all accounts a good dude and a decent qb. I can only imagine how pissed he was to learn this news lol!
If the Skins seriously gave up a 1st rounder, they need to be laughed at until the end of time.

It's risky putting Mahomes in, but let's face it, they've seen Smith's ceiling.

I low-key like their WR's longterm. I still believe in Crowder and Doctson. They just need someone to step up to the plate.

Dude they just signed Alex Smith. They no longer need wide receivers.
