As Alex Smith recovers, Redskins' quest for QB begins anew

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins enter the offseason the same way they did in 2018, with a major question surrounding their next quarterback. It could be a lot tougher to find an answer in 2019.

Last offseason the Redskins traded for Alex Smith, hoping he would fill that hole for several years. But when he suffered the compound spiral fracture of his right leg in November, it left his career in doubt and the Redskins needing to plan for life without him. The Redskins have made it clear that Smith’s health, regardless of football, is most important.
