Alex Smith indicated he would not take a "pay-as-you-go" contract like the one Andy Dalton signed with the Bengals.
Dalton's contract includes no guaranteed money behind the first year. "I want to get something that's right that I'm going to play out, absolutely, and that's definitely a focus of mine," said Smith. Agent Tom Condon spoke with GM John Dorsey about a Smith deal "a couple days ago," but it's unclear if the gap is being bridged. Since the early spring, it's been rumored that Smith is targeting Jay Cutler or Joe Flacco money -- upwards of $20 million a year.
