This is aggravation that we don't need. I'd think it would be better for both parties to chill out, play this season and make a decision closer to contract's end. If Dorsey aggravates the situation by drafting a QB this year, not only would it eat up a scarce draft pick this year, it could possibly backfire in Dorsey's face if Alex played less than inspired football, and the drafted QB turns out to be a dud.
At the other end of this I suspect is an eager agent, which is why this crud happened when it could hurt us the most. But hey that's what they're paid for. Problem with that is, he's thinking of his commission first, player second, team footing the bill third.
IMHO Alex is worth the money. But the Chiefs can't spend what they don't have. So it very well might be a situation where KC is forced to start a newly drafted QB, going through all the growing pans QB's go through, and Alex Smith going to a team that might not have the coaching or player roster that KC does.
