The Buffalo Bills looking hard at QB Alex Smith? According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, that's apparently part of the discussions they've had with candidates while interviewing for a new HC. Papoport mentioned it today while discussing Ken Whisenhunt interviewing with the Bills.

Bidding war?

Was there a bidding war last year?

Why would Alex want to restructure and sit behind anyone when he can make more and start somewhere else? I'm not saying there would be some huge bidding war where he would come away with a massive contract, but there are a couple teams who would at least be willing to pay him what he is currently making and he would be their starter.

It was widely reported (Mort, Shefter, and Lombardi's fat lesbian sister) that the league perception was that Alex would be back in SF, and that any FA visits would be smokescreen leverage towards his next Niner deal. People don't want to be used and look as stupid as the Dolphins.

This year will be different. I don't know what we will get, but we should get something for him.

Most we would get outta him I believe is a 6th or 7th round pick, or maybe even a 2014 5th round pick. But no way would we get a 3rd for him, wishful thinking.
