This is a question the Ravens front office and fans alike would like to know right now. The Ravens signed free agent QB Marc Bulger to a one-year deal yesterday, and have already claimed that Bulger- not Smith- will be the backup for Joe Flacco.

Prior to the Bulger signing, Smith has said that he believes he is a starter in the NFL, not a backup. We even heard from his former agent, making such comments in an attempt to have Smith traded to the Cleveland Browns, his hometown team. The Ravens put a 5th round tender on Smith (he is a restricted free agent), but no other teams bit. Smith has since fired his agent and kept quiet while signing his tender. But all the while, believing he should be a starter for another team.

With the signing of Bulger, it seems as there is almost certainty that Smith will be moved. He's a competitor that never was comfortable being in a backup role. And with the notion that Bulger will be the #2 QB on the roster, I'm sure that being a #3 QB isn't something Smith would be too thrilled about.

So what happens to Troy Smith now? For now, that remained to be unseen. The Baltimore Sun is speculating that Smith could be traded for a 6th round pick. So basically the former Heisman Trophy winner could go for a pick that may not even make the team. Another scenario is, Smith could be traded. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Arizona and Tennessee are a couple of teams that come to mind when thinking of a new home for Smith (I did say Tennessee, only because of Young's recent troubles and they have similar QB traits that the Titans may want to look into).

It will be interesting to see what happens between now and training camp. Hopefully Troy Smith can go to a team and compete for the job he feels he deserves: A starter in the NFL
