According to The MMQB’s Albert Breer, current Washington Football Team veteran quarterback Alex Smith impacted the Indianapolis Colts’ recent trade for Philadelphia Eagles ex-franchise quarterback Carson Wentz—from a move that happened back in 2013:
“For the Colts, the comp for the return was the 2013 Alex Smith trade,” Breer writes. “The Chiefs got him from San Francisco for two second-rounders that March, a couple months before then new Kansas City GM John Dorsey brought Ballard aboard as his top lieutenant. Smith, like Wentz, was 28 when he was traded and fresh off of being benched.
