We have to draft a qb in first round Alex will be out at least a year

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

Yep

didn't give up draft picks for him next year

It really does look like a Theesman (yeah I know) type break. If this is a career ending injury, how does it factor into our cap? Will they have a buyout option for Smith and how does that factor with respects to our cap? Anybody?

This ^^^^^ is just about the best fucking thing, hell, the only fucking thing, anyone can say that's good about the Alex Smith trade. I said it before, I'll say it again.......The trade for Alex Smith is the worst fiuckin trade of the Snyder Era. Honorable mention to Bruce Allen for the hand his dumb ass had in the deal. Fuck.

If its career ending, the only thing the Skins can do is designate him a june 1st cap move. A straight cut or retirement would put them almost $2M over the cap. A june 1st designation allows them to split the hit over two years.

Derek Carr might be available in the not too distant future....

So to be clear, if Smith retires we're 2M over the cap, (they won't cut him) A June 1st move puts them over the cap by 1 million correct?

Now come on Dad. Who would have expected an injury for a 34 year old QB that likes to run?

He'll never admit it but Colt has been doing this all year.

June 1st they could spread the $20M owed against the cap over 2019-2020. So they could eat the whole thing in 2020 and be $14M under the cap needing a QB. Or split it 10/10 in 19 and 20 and still needing a QB. Or they could eat the whole thing in 19 and be $2M over the cap needing a QB.

The common theme here is...

Needing a QB.

So did everybody else wanting to win ball games.

 

[skinsdad62]

BKL has a 71 mil guarantee for injury now our cap could be really hurt

 

[cowboycolors]

NFL needs to fix that for career ending injury’s with an exemption or amortization over X numbers of years depending on how high the $$$ is
Jmho

 

[Sportster 72]

As much as I was for keeping Cousin's and I was against the Smith trade I hope it is not career ending. If I remember correctly Theesman tried to come back but could not.

Not that I am anxious to Smith behind a Redskin center again, but I hate to see injuries at all much less career ending injuries.

While i agree we need a QB (amd did even before the injury), we need to be careful about forcing it.

Right now this seems like a weak qb class that may end up a REALLY weak qb class if some people stay in school. Still time for that to change but this might not be a good year to draft a qb.

Trust me. Its career ending for a player his age. I broke my leg the exact same way. I was 15. It took me close to 18 months before it was 100%. Given modern medicine and treatment, even a year recovery means he isn't on the field until the 2nd half of next season.
