Summary

Rich kicks off the hour reacting to the announcement that quarterback Alex Smith has retired, and reflects on the former #1 overall draft pick’s rollercoaster NFL career that culminated with a brave return to the field after a devastating broken leg that earned him Comeback Player of the Year honors.  Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio and Rich discuss the big news in Europe with the proposed formation of a soccer Super League and if we’d ever see NFL teams secede like that, the intrigue surrounding the 49ers and what they do with the #3 pick in the NFL Draft, if Bill Belichick and the Patriots could move up in the draft to take a QB, if the Broncos, Bears or WFT could jockey for position in the draft to select a quarterback, Alex Smith’s future now that he’s retired from the NFL, if the Falcons should select Florida TE Kyle Smith or draft their quarterback of the future,  Rich wraps up the hour reacting to Trevor Lawrence defending his comments that were perceived as a lack of love for and commitment to football, and how much better he could be if the soon-to-be-Jags QB ever gets a chip on his shoulder.
