How Long Should an Extension/New Contract for Alex Smith Be?

In all seriousness though, if he continues to play well and plays good in the playoffs, they are not going to let him leave. If his play suffers or he bombs in the playoffs, they may reconsider.

Is that actually possible? A free agent being part of any trade, I mean.

Heck No, Alex Rodriguez type deal, 10yr/$250M.

Just curious but if smith signed a contract exactly like his rookie contract , where would he rank with the other starterting qb's in the league?
