Alex Smith will count $21 million against the salary cap next season. Does not matter if he is on IR, retires or is released. The cap hit is $21 million.
Colt McCoy will count $3 million against next years cap. Then what do you do with Johnson?

If they trade and acquire Andy Dalton, the contract is also acquired and he will count $16 million against next years salary cap.

Without considering Johnson, that would tie up some $40 million in the QB position.

To give it perspective, Aaron Rodgers is the highest paid QB in the league today. His cap hit is $26 million.
