Redskins trade for Alex Smith

I thought Fuller was a backup CB with flashes of goodness and potential? Not seeing why people are that upset over trading him for Smith.

If our FO goal was to distract from them letting Cousins walk for little compensation, they seem to be succeeding.

The difference in KCs FO and ours is stark:

KC gets a 3rd rd pick, and maybe a good player, and dumps salary, for a QB they already have a young replacement for.

WASH gets an older QB, loses said 3rd rd pick and player, does dump salary, and lets their QB walk for maybe a comp pick.

Basically KC gets better. WASH spends a pick and a player to try plugging a vacancy at QB, and might have created another vacancy depending on who we traded away.
