Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but Smith could also end up with the Bears and reunite with Nagy. Pretty sure Nagy was OC during Smiths time there.

Alex Smith is 36 years old....and will be 37 before the next season starts. But no reason he couldn't be a decent backup for 2 more years.

5-1 as a starter for the WTFs. He'll resurface some where. Ties to Urban might lead him to Jax.

Sure, but don't you think Alex wants to have another shot at starting somewhere? Even if he has to be a "bridge", doing it in Jacksonville will be too short. Will they put up with keeping Trevor on the bench for a season? A month? A week? The first quarter of the first preseason game?

Chicago makes sense to me: missed on Wentz, likely to miss on Watson, no pick for a QB, but Nagy needs to win. Smith could have the position to himself in 2021.

ALEX SMITHQB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT
The Washington Football Team announced Alex Smith requested his release from the team. Washington head coach Ron Rivera said in a statement announcing Smith's release that he met with Smith and "decided that it would be best for both parties to move on." Smith's request for release aligns with comments he made in February about the team not including him in their 2020 plans. "They never thought I was coming back. No one there," Smith told GQ. He insisted there were no hard feelings between him and the coaching staff, but the well had clearly been poisoned. Releasing Smith, 36, makes financial sense for the Football Team, which save nearly $15 million against the cap.
