Agreed. He’s got to think of his future life and how that could be adversely damaged if he is injured again.

I’m interested in whether he wants to return as any of the following:

A. NFL TV Commentator

B. NFL Coach (position coach or higher)

C. NFL Team Executive

A. Being a tv commentator takes a lot of time and effort. Many don’t make it over time.

B. He’d have to start as a position coach (QB coach like Zorn did) and then hopefully move up the ladder to OC or higher IF he is successful.

C. I think his time last season being an informal advisor to Dan Snyder might get him a shot at being a team executive- perhaps in the Redskins organization (?). I believe Smith helped cut Dan Snyder’s dependency on Bruce Allen last season. But it appears that Kyle Smith is well on the road to being the Redskin’s new GM. What would Alex’s executive job be with Rivera / Kyle Smith making all of the Redskin’s major football decisions.

I think Alex Smith will quietly retire and in a year or two he’ll come back to the NFL in on of the capacities listed above.
