Overthecap has this blurb

Alex Smith was traded to the Redskins on March 14, 2018. Smith signed a four year contract extension with the Redskins on March 16, 2018 worth $94 million in new money. Per Albert Breer, Smith*will receive a $27 million signing bonus*and $55 million is guaranteed at signing. If on the roster on the 5th day of the 2019 league year, Smith's 2020 $16 million salary will also become fully guaranteed.

And if he is designated post jun 1 then the numbers look like this

2019 hit
Hit $20,400,000
Cap savings $0

2020
Hit $5,400,000
Cap savings $16,000,000

Not awful really

i just dont see how alex ( or his wife) think its a great idea to rehab like hell and come back next year. i myself had a gruesome leg injury. i broke my leg at the knee joint 5 years ago. the bottom part of the joint sheered off. i had an external fixator for 3 months and then had the plates installed. it was a long time before i could even start rehab. i feel pretty good now on most days. im 36. like i said i feel bad for him. but with his break i think he will be ok long term. clean break like that (from what i saw) dosnt usually hurt ligaments or tendons. alot of the redskin fans wanted to see what we have in colt. here we go. im an alex fan and i want to see him play again... but i just dont see it.
