Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 545 Ready to make a move
Looking at Levi with a sincere face in front of him, Smith knew that he was not wrong about him.

Through this season, especially the ups and downs of the playoffs, they have indeed built a camaraderie that is more valuable than victories and championships.

"Thank you, rookie."

Li Wei: What's the connection? Why did the topic suddenly jump to this? "I'm not going to pay for this meal."

"Haha." Smith laughed out loud. "After signing so many endorsements, you didn't even treat us to a nice meal?"

"Haha, that's what a Super Bowl quarterback who's fighting for a maximum salary contract said." Levi was not to be outdone.

Smith's mood brightened immediately. Not only did he smile, but the heavy burden on his chest was also completely thrown off, and he felt completely relaxed.

"I mean, thank you for inspiring me."

"I didn't dare to dream because the dream of the Super Bowl was too big and too far away; but we did it, and now we are the Super Bowl champions."

"I never thought that this title could be associated with me."

"This has been an incredibly eventful journey. It is my honor to fight side by side with you till the end. It seems that God has not completely abandoned me."

"But now it's time to say goodbye."

Smith looked at Levi, without avoiding or dodging, his eyes were clear and calm. This was the first time he faced himself honestly without hiding anything.

"We all know that the transformation of this team and the victory in the Super Bowl depend on you, not me."

Levi was just about to speak when Smith stopped him.

"I know, I know, we relied on the strength of the team, and everyone played their own role, so we were able to complete the trick attack in the end."

"But you are the soul."

"Not only because you completed the final pass, but also because you made the team believe that we could turn the situation around. You made me take a brave step to break the screen, you made Hunter go all out regardless of past grudges, you made us have the belief to win, standing on the edge of the cliff, and firmly uniting the entire team."

“For that, I am forever grateful and feel blessed, lucky to have been on this journey with you.”

"But next, I want to go on my own."

Levi opened his mouth slightly, vaguely understanding something.

Smith gave him an affirmative look: You are right.

"You gave me confidence and made me believe that I still have potential and possibilities. I want to prove to myself and the league that I am still an excellent quarterback without Levi. I can also be the key to the team's victory. I can also use my energy to change the temperament of a team."

"Hey, don't forget that the quarterback is the star of football, okay? You stole my limelight, and I need my own one-man show next."

A little joke, a little teasing.

But, it is more about sincerity, being honest with your own weaknesses, being honest with your own desires, and being honest with your own ambitions.

This requires courage, courage far beyond imagination.

Smith in front of us has truly completed his transformation and is growing into a qualified leader. He is not only a quarterback, but also the soul of the team.

"Captain." Levi called out, full of sincerity, "Good luck."

then.

Levi raised his glass and glanced at the mineral water inside. "We have training this afternoon, so let's keep it simple."

"Haha." Smith laughed heartily and raised his glass. "Thank you."

cheers.

Drink it all in one gulp.

Although it is mineral water, it tastes like alcohol.

Putting down their glasses, Levi and Smith both relaxed, their business done, ready to enjoy a good lunch. Smith seemed to be completely relaxed, "Rookie, what do you think of New York?"

Levi was stunned, "Do you mean life or vacation?"

Smith gave Levi a meaningful look. He was pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. "Giant."

Levi's eyes widened, "So, a team has contacted you now?"

Smith did not deny it. "There have been some since the Super Bowl. So far, six."

There are more than one.

But if you think about it seriously, it’s not surprising.

The entire league is short of quarterbacks, not just in the draft every year, but also in the free market where experienced veteran quarterbacks are in high demand.

Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Mahomes with the tenth pick in the first round. The entire league saw it, and Smith's prospects in Kansas City became a hot topic. After the Super Bowl, it was normal for the eager teams to bypass the Kansas City Chiefs and privately ask Smith about his personal intentions.

Moreover, six, from this we can see how popular Smith is.

This is the case when Smith has not made any public statement. Other teams assume that Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs are probably in the process of contract renewal negotiations, and many people are probably still waiting and watching; once Smith's agent starts taking action, competitors will probably pop up like mushrooms after rain.

What really makes Levi curious is how serious the quarterback problem of these six teams is, so much so that they can't wait to test the waters while Smith's negotiations with the Kansas City Chiefs are still ongoing; but when he comes to his senses, there are more than one or two teams in the league with quarterback problems.

Smith noticed Levi's eyes flickering and laughed dumbly, "You can gossip a little, I don't mind."

Levi had a hurt expression on his face. "Captain, do you think I'm such a gossiper? I thought I maintained a good image in the past season."

"Haha." Smith, "No, no, it's because I want to show off. When I left San Francisco, I didn't expect that I would have this day."

Levi, "So, which teams are there?"

Smith didn't keep it a secret. "Denver."

Denver Broncos?

reasonable.

Since Manning retired, the 50th Super Bowl champion has been stuck in a quarterback quagmire, which makes the team regret it. They really shouldn't have forced Manning to retire. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Denver Broncos would not fall from the Super Bowl champion to the bottom of the division.

The Denver Broncos' spectacular moves also sounded a wake-up call to the league. Even if the veterans' form declines, their experience and heritage are treasures and should not be underestimated.

John Elway, the team manager who once advocated for bringing Manning from the Indianapolis Colts and enjoyed great success, has now suffered the consequences of his own actions and has had a very difficult time with the team in the past two years.

Levi did not hide his surprise, because the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs are rivals in the same division, and if Elvy was not really in trouble, he would not have called Smith's agent.

Smith nodded slightly in affirmative response.

He was just as surprised.

then.

"Buffalo."

"Miami."

“Jacksonville.”

A pause. "Oh. By the way, didn't Jacksonville call you? They hinted that they were planning to reunite me with the Super Bowl MVP in Jacksonville."

Judging from the AFC Finals, Jacksonville's passing offense was indeed a mess. Bortles had a hard time, and even his teammates stabbed him in the back; but it was not a small surprise that they found Smith.

The real surprise lies in the second half of Smith's sentence.

Levi noticed Smith's meaningful look, and his face was full of question marks, "Why doesn't the person involved know about this?"
