Alex Smith's run in D.C. is over ... the QB has officially been released by the Washington Football Team.
Now, the 36-year-old signal caller with quite possibly the greatest comeback story EVER will try and continue his NFL career somewhere else.
Remember, Smith suffered a catastrophic injury to his right leg in 2018 -- a spiral and compound fracture to his tibia and fibula -- when he was sacked during a game against the Houston Texans.
The injury was so bad, Smith ultimately needed 17 operations to repair the damage -- and at one point, doctors seriously considered amputating the limb at the knee!
