This way, we'd only be committing around 30M to the QB position (when accounting for Smiths 21M).

I know that isn't sexy or exciting, but its the most financially prudent option for us in 2019.

It would probably ensure that by 2020, the Redskins are searching for a new coach. Which, if the 'skins happen to "hit" upon one of the highly admired rookie QBs in the draft, then that might be a good bargaining chip for the next head coach.
