Alex Smith for Tyler Thigpen?

I like Thigpen and think he can be a quality backup and a solid spot starter -- and can thrive in a run-dominant offense. He's also very mobile and can pick up the third down scramble. He also ran the spread offense in KC last year, performing well in wildcat formations.

After the trade, we'd have Smith at starter, Thigpen as backup, and Nate Davis as the developmental project.

Smith can be developed by Tod Hailey & Co.

So we are going to trade Smith, then start Smith whilst Hailey develops Smith.

Fairly sure the NFL won't allow this!

Yup. That is Thigpen in the pic.

Anyways, what I have seen from him, the dude is a baller. He shows some skills and I think he did not get enough credit. I would love to have him as a backup. But not if the price was too high.

That's quite a boner he's got.
