New quarterback Alex Smith says he's 'jacked' to be joining Washington | The Salt Lake Tribune
"I would be lying if I said the wife and I have not been scoping out the area on Google Maps," Smith said Thursday on the Murph & Mac podcast on KBNR radio (San Francisco).
"I'm jacked. I'm really excited. Once I found out that things in Kansas City were going in a different direction, I was pumped at the opportunity, and when Washington came calling I was hopeful that that was a possible destination, and I'm just jacked that it worked out. They wanted me because the feeling was mutual, and I'm looking forward to it."

If he hits the unrestricted free agent market March 14 unburdened by the franchise tag, he could choose from a group of bidders that could include the New York Jets, Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, Arizona Cardinals and maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings.
