The Facts: Smith said his comeback threw a "wrench" into the team's plans and that he didn't feel wanted by the organization this past summer. Smith, the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year, told GQ Magazine that he surprised the organization by being able to play. "They didn't see it, didn't want me there, didn't want me to be a part of it, didn't want me to be on the team, the roster, didn't want to give me a chance," Smith told the magazine. "Mind you, it was a whole new regime, they came in; I'm like the leftovers and I'm hurt and I'm this liability. Heck no, they didn't want me there."

Diehards Line: Smith's words call into question his desire to remain with the organization and how much frustration he still harbors. Washington is open to retaining Smith and building up more of the offense, but the team also is exploring other options at quarterback because of the question of whether Smith can remain healthy for a full season. Smith has a $24.4 million cap hit and Washington would save $13.8 million if it released him. "We're still in a situation where we are looking at all of our options," coach Ron Rivera said earlier this month. Smith has not said for certain that he's going to return, but sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that he wanted to continue playing.
