The twitter NFL writers are melting down on this one.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Chiefs are finishing up a 4-year extension for QB Alex Smith worth roughly $17M per year, I’m told. Includes $45M in guarantees.

10 seasons under his belt, 1 career playoff victory, pre-CBA #1 overall pick money.

That's what's known as a charmed life

So did Joe Flacco's.

Then Ed Reed and Ray Lewis left.

Michael Bennett had some good quotes about QB's earlier today, which was good timing. LINK
quote:

“Quarterback is the only position where you can be mediocre and get paid,” Bennett says, bringing up players, without naming them, who have made a ton of money without winning a lot of games or putting up big numbers.

And that explains why Bennett says quarterbacks remind him of being forced to eat his vegetables as a kid.

“It’s almost like when you’re a kid and your mom gives you Brussels sprouts; you need them but they taste nasty,” Bennett said. “And that’s how I feel about quarterbacks. You need them, but they taste nasty.”

“That’s how I feel about the quarterbacks. The game needs them, but… I’m just excited to see somebody get paid like that.”

Time for everyone to freak out before knowing all the contract details

45 m guaranteed is all I have to see.

Tim Kawakami @timkawakami $30M true guarantee for Alex Smith, plus $15M more vesting next March? Yes, that's slightly better than Kaepernick's $12.6M true guarantee.


Is that specific enough?

Always near the top in QBR and wins. Way better athlete than he's given credit for and can kill you on 3rd down with his feet.

Easily in my top 10 if I have a team that can compete now.

if you think your QB is getting paid too much, imagine what Buffalo or Cleveland would be offering him...
