Fu@k

This.

They got their man. They should extend him as soon as possible to show they have full faith in him.

I can't wait until draft day when every team in the league knows they've painted themselves in a corner.

They're stuck with the #1 pick, nobody wants it.

They just need to get Joeckel a contract now and cement themselves as idiots.

Luckily there's a rookie wage scale now so no more $80mil guaranteed 1st picks

Strike one against Andy Reid and John Dorsey.

My thoughts exactly

What have we Chiefs fans done to be punished so badly? No team is as pathetic as the Raiders, but we are racing to catch up.

Another dark day for the franchise.

I'm willing to bet he gets a similar deal to what Cassel initially got.

When the Chiefs traded for Matt Cassel, I deferred to Pioli's supposed insider knowledge of how good Cassel was, but argued that he was betting his tenure as GM on the deal. Alex Smith is more a known commodity than Matt Cassel, and he's simply not that good. Unless Reid is really the QB guru he thinks he is, these guys went all in on a losing hand, just like Pioli.

Remember when we all laughed at the Raiders for what they gave up for Palmer? :facepalm:

New banner:

WRONG ****ING SMITH.

And then the plane can crop dust human shit on arrowhead, since that's what they do to us.

Alex Smith's contract

2012: $5 million base salary (fully guaranteed); $3 million roster bonus; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives.

2013: $7.5 million base salary ($1 million guaranteed); $1 million roster bonus; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives.

2014: $7.5 million base salary; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives.

What it means: Smith was guaranteed $9 million upon signing ($10.5 million with injury guarantees), but this could well be a deal that runs a year and is worth only that much. The 2013 roster bonus is due in March, and if Smith is on the roster on April 1 of next year, his $7.5 million base salary will be guaranteed. If they cut him before the roster bonus comes due, they only owe him the $1 million guarantee. So, at least from a practical standpoint, the Niners will have to make a decision next March if Smith will be the starter for 2013.

Fuel the ****ing plane, get the funds together for the banners.

So we give up two 2nd's for a guy that would have been cut by the 49er's?

You guys should be happy this means no more Cassel. Hes officially gone!

This is what you wanted, no?

Well, this is a bummer.

For the record, I don't think Smith = Cassel, but I also don't think he's good enough to win you a super bowl.

I think his ceiling is a Trent Green type.

Only way this trade works for me is if we somehow get....oh, Barkley or someone to groom behind him.

Maybe somebody will want to move up for Geno?
