Chiefs Alex Smith unlikely to ever play again - Page 4

When he did his weekly radio gig with KK, he just wasn't smooth enough to be a commentator. And he won't be a coach. Coaches work their asses off, long hours away from home. He's got millions in the bank. He can do whatever he wants and not have to bust ass doing it. I wish him well.

More or less what I came to say :-)

Glad he made it out of the injury alive

Glad he got paid

Appreciate his time here and how he helped mahomes

See you on Monday Nights maybe? I heard they were after manning but perhaps they can checkdown to Alex

That sucks, I liked Alex.

Way too conservative in his play style many times but always seemed like a genuinely nice and sincere guy. Had a set of wheels on him as well.

I doubt he has much too worry about besides missing the game.

That inj looked unbelievably painful...ugh.

The rods/pins etc....that pic of him visiting (Wash Wizards lockeroom was it?) very hard to look at.

Dude's made his money and has played in the league longer than 95% of most players do, should hang 'em up even if he's able to come back and play. No need to risk it...being able to walk and bone your hot ass wife is much more important than a game.

Sucks to hear. He was never going to do anything special after KC anyways, but he's a good guy.

Proud to have had a man of his character play for the Chiefs.

Best trade the Chiefs ever made besides getting Mahomes from Buffalo.

He was a bargain for two 2nd rounders.

That sucks for Alex, he was a class act but he is set for life.

$70MM from the Redskins to play how many games?

At least Smith has a legit injury

Well, $55 million was guaranteed. That's still a ton of dough for half a season. I found this little tidbit talking about how screwed the Redskins are.

The Redskins fully guaranteed Smith $55 million upon signing, including a rather large $27 million signing bonus. All told Washington paid $40 million of that guarantee in the first year of the contract. The $15 million that remains will be paid in 2019. This money is a sunk cost for the Redskins (for the most part,more on that in a minute) and there is no way to avoid the payments

Chief's can use him on the staff. Smart man, lots of good qualities.

Let's stop this Alex got Mahomes ready. He didn't. Yeah im sure he was nice to him, but he didn't do anything thatchelped Mahomes become what he has become. The only thing he did was make sure we lost against the Titans.
