Come on, man, it's human to feel bad for ANYONE whose leg is snapped like that, especially if it threatens his career.

This. Shouldn’t matter how much money he’s got. Ridiculous.

True.
However there is another point: Alex has made enough money in his career where he does not have to play anymore if he feels like his health as he get older is more important than a game. I am certain he will rehab like crazy and make every effort to play again. Nobody wants to go out like this. However Alex was drafted very high and he has more than enough money to retire if he decides next year it ain’t worth it anymore.

This can be life altering. Kiss goodbye running a marathon or skiing with the family or hell even simple things like going up and down stairs can be debilitating. After something like that I hope he can get full mobility back without pain.

Re: Offence and Alex Smith

I don’t how this affects the salary cap, he’s due $13 mil this year, $15 mil on 2019 starting January 5th. Then what if he retires?

I'd like to know the same thing. What if he's forced into retirement due to injury? What does that mean for the team in terms of the money? At least one thing we can take solace in, if the 'skins found a great QB in the draft, they have a lot of players playing on rookie contracts. It might be that by the time they have to offer "real" contracts to the likes of Allen, Guice, or Payne, any effect from the Alex Smith deal would be null.

Call me crazy, but I believe the 'skins have a lot of pieces in place.

71 million is injury guaranteed. I think that means we'd be fucked if he's forced out via injury.

Does that $ count against the salary cap if he decides to hang it up? Not that he will, just curious how that works. Anyone know?

The way the contract is structured makes it a huge cap hit till after 2020. We are basically married to the guy for three years. If he retires? IDK how that works.

Although the teddy Bridgewater injury was really bad, he sat out the next year. Could it be same for Smith? Smith was also just as bad but different.

While both injuries are gruesome, you're still talking about two totally different injuries, and two players who were about tens years apart in age. Trust me, age is a factor when it comes to healing from injury.
