I don't have a problem with Alex Smith the QB. I'm sure he will be as productive as Kirk (or Kurt depending on who is talking). My issue is this - $71 millions guaranteed to a guy that is 34 years old. this is so the OLD redskins way of over paying for aging guys. And also giving up a promising young corner (remember Champ?). And absolutely no attempt to at least dip a toe in the negotiating pool with Kirk. I am guessing $70+ million guaranteed last year would have gotten close or at least given Kirk the feeling that this may be the right place to be. But as usual, Bruce Allen craps on this because he is out to show he is the man in charge.

I agree giving up Fuller stings. Remember though Champ wasn't going to resign here anyways. So little different situation. Had to get something for him. From what I heard Broncos were offering a 2nd Rounder and Talib for Smith. If we wanted Smith we had to give up a piece and that was Fuller.
