Patrick Mahomes was the future of the Kansas City Chiefs the second they traded up for him last year, and the clock started ticking down for Alex Smith from that moment on. Considering the mass of first-round quarterbacks and the options in free agency, Kansas City got decent value for their 34-year-old quarterback.

Now without Kirk Cousins, the Redskins rely on Alex Smith, a steady veteran who won’t blow you away but will win football games. Smith has led his team to the playoffs five times since 2011, a welcomed sign for the Redskins.
