When Do We Play Washington Redskins Again
Two years agone today (January 30th), the Redskins contradistinct their path and at the aforementioned time conveniently paved the road for the Kansas Urban center Chiefs to play in the Super Bowl this Lord's day night.
The trade did not become official until March 14th of that year, just who could forget Bruce Allen telling Doug Williams, his Senior Vice President of Player Personnel to non respond his phone or lookout man the news on the night of the reported agreement.
Since then - the Redskins accept started and played 6 unlike quarterbacks.
They've paid Alex Smith $38.eight million in cap dollars with another $21.4 million scheduled for this yr to play ten games, due to a gruesome leg injury.
Ten games, xi touchdowns and half-dozen wins for Smith.
No, it's not his mistake or the Redskins mistake that he got injured - simply what tin can be argued is that only the Redskins would give a 34 year old quarterback that had a largely above boilerplate career, a 90+ million dollar extension, when they didn't have to.
Since that bespeak, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Chiefs have played in ii AFC Championship games, winning one, and Mahomes has cost the Chiefs but over eight million in cap dollars.
Mahomes has racked up 80 total regular season touchdowns and the Chiefs are 24-8 in but the regular flavour under Mahomes.
Clearly, the deal has been a complete debacle for the Redskins. Some of it in their command, some of it not.
It must be pointed out that even is Smith stayed healthy, the Redskins were going to exist a pedestrian offense at best. Pedestrian might be kind.
The Chiefs are a juggernaut and hour away from putting a crown on top of Andy Reid's burger loving face and head.
The trade only got worse for the Redskins:
They dealt Kendall Fuller, coming off a terrific year in his 2nd NFL season to Kansas Metropolis along with a third-round pick.
Yeah, information technology was that bad.

Fuller, a free agent to be, has played 26 games for the Chiefs with only two interceptions.
He'south been fine, maybe good but has not been peachy. He's played slot and outside corner, free and strong safety per ProFootballFocus.com (PFF).
The tertiary round option was No. 78 overall and Cowboys receiver Michael Gallup was available and taken quickly after. Harrison Phillips was selected by Buffalo in the next ten picks as well.
The Chiefs likewise have two other quondam Redskins in their starting lineup for Super Bowl LIV on Dominicus.
Bashaud Breeland and Austin Reiter.
Everyone in Redskins land remembers "Bree" a 4th-round pick success story whose career was on the rising before Bruce Allen decided he couldn't contain himself and sunk a fortune into Josh Norman.
Norman and Breeland did not get along and that is a squeamish style to say it, as I empathize it.
When Breeland signed a big deal in Carolina to leave the Redskins, ironically with Ron Rivera and the Panthers, I was told that Norman had some really fell things to say to people behind the scenes about Breeland.
Breeland will start on Sunday dark after billowy effectually to Green Bay in betwixt.
Reiter, was a 7th circular pick in 2015 for the Redskins and never played in a regular season game. In 2016, he caught on with Cleveland and tore his knee up against the team that drafted him.
Fast frontwards to 2019 and he started every single game at center for the Chiefs and will first in Lord's day night'due south Super Bowl.
He's the guy that gets the brawl to Patrick Mahomes.
If you would take told me four years ago that Reiter would be starting in a Super Basin for Andy Reid while the Redskins would exist coming off a three-win season, I would take laughed and so some.
Just similar Andy Reid was in one case again laughing at Bruce Allen 2 years ago.
