The Facts: Alex Smith has requested a release from the Washington Football Team.
Diehards Line:Smith, the consummate veteran, has had a bit of a bumpy offseason with the statement that he believes his return to football threw a wrench in the plans of Washington management. The team is clearly looking toward the future and that doesn't put Smith on the rebuilding blueprint. Smith will either sign somewhere to be a bridge-style quarterback for a young player or could get a gig with a low-end playoff team looking to continue their run.
