I would have jumped off a bridge if someone told me we are giving up a third rounder, Fuller, and Cousins for Alex Smith two days ago BUT when I step back it actually makes sense for several reasons.
1)frees up instant cap money
2)settles the quarterback situation and allows us to move forward and address the rest of our needs.
3) I love Cousins, but i can see Smith running Grudens offense with precision and CARE (not turning the ball over - huge).
I do have a question. Cousins is just gone. Right? Meaning we get nothing for him. Is there a way that the Skins could have somehow traded KC for something AND wound up here taking Smith?

You guys get a 3rd rounder for cousins walking if i am not mistaken. It is year after he walks.
