It might be that by the time they have to offer "real" contracts to the likes of Allen, Guice, or Payne, any effect from the Alex Smith deal would be null.

Call me crazy, but I believe the 'skins have a lot of pieces in place.

71 million is injury guaranteed. I think that means we'd be fucked if he's forced out via injury.

Does that $ count against the salary cap if he decides to hang it up? Not that he will, just curious how that works. Anyone know?

Probably not if he retires. If doctors tell him not to play that might be a different story.
