Report: Alex Smith expected to be released by the end of the week

Alex Smith will reportedly be released by the end of the week as the Washington Football Team gets back to work after a virtual February. This is a move that was a move that most people had circled on their calendars since Smith suffered a devastating leg injury in 2018. Smith threw a wrench into that timeline when he made one of the most improbable recoveries in NFL history, and actually returned to not only play last season, but start for Washington. Smith went 5-1 as a starter, and won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award.
