Alex Smith's base salary in 2020 will be $16 million...what they can do is trade him to a team that will account for something around $10 million while the Redskins account for $6 million of his salary....that way the Redskins don't have to cut him and eat the whole $16 milion....and to add they can get a player or a mid round/late round pick in the deal.

I do not understand this site, it says there would be a $32 million dead cap hit if Smith is cut in 2020.... no one will trade for him if he is not healthy

Their are some guys that are eternal optimists and their heads are full of wishful thinking. I have always been the opposite of that. I don't think Alex Smith ever plays another down of NFL football again. A gruesome injury like that would have been bad enough if the guy was in his early 20's, healed without complications and played for a contender. The Alex situation is the opposite of that, he is in his mid 30's, had complications, and plays for a team that is a long way from contending.
