Report: Patriots among teams Alex Smith 'heard' from before retiring originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Veteran quarterback Alex Smith retired from the NFL earlier this week, but there were a few teams that reached out to him before that decision was made.
Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated reported Thursday some interesting details on which teams had contact with Smith over the offseason.
"Jacksonville offered a contract, though Jags GM Trent Baalke wanted Smith to sign a special waiver for his leg and suggested any team would request the same," Bishop wrote.
