NFL Rumors: Alex Smith Headed For Free Agency, Washington Could Trade For QB

A few months after becoming one of the great comeback stories in NFL history, Alex Smith is looking for a new team. The quarterback is expected to hit free agency for the 2021 offseason.
The Washington Football Team and Smith are set to part ways in the coming days, NFL Network reports. The veteran was set to earn an $18.75 million base salary next season.
Smith spent three seasons with Washington, missing most of that time because of a devastating leg injury that resulted in 17 surgeries. The 36-year-old returned to the field for the first time in two years on Oct. 10.

It's true. The Eagles aren't under yet up against any sort of deadline when it comes to trading quarterback Carson Wentz. But that time is coming soon. As is an all-important decision for not just general manager Howie Roseman, but for the entire state of the franchise as well.
