Redskins trade for Alex Smith

[itvnetop]

I would listen to DJ Swearinger. Fuller- Best defensive player last year. Preparation. Locker room guy. Look, of course I hope Alex Smith can replicate what Cousins did- this is me even discounting the fact we don’t have a Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce or Tyreek Hill. I just take issue with this narrative that Fuller is “just a good cb” or “just a slot guy” or “our third/backup.” Our defensive captain just called him the best player we had last season on his side of the ball... and those aren’t just emotions talking- the numbers back it up.

Trading a guy like that on a rookie contract for bridge qb who lacks the weapons he had before is hard to swallow. Throw in a third and it just reminds me of a previous trade to give up the best cb in football and a second for a running back (moving Champ was mandatory considering his personal drama in DC, but still- these sweeteners only seem to come from this organization.. different FO, but still).

If Alex Smith is more than a two year bridge QB and he puts up the same stats/record as KC, I’ll actually be sort of alright with this. But i don’t even think the former is true. And I don’t trade our highest rated defensive player for a bridge.
