Why would you think Smoot is going to be out of the league soon? He is a top 10 corner plays hard and will play hurt. Now I know there where issues when he left but you can't write off his tallent because you no longer like him. Maybe you have reason to believe he is not very good.
top 10? last year he ended up as the #3 on his own team.
Champ
McAlister
Clements
Winfield
Law
Surtain
Barber
Rolle
Harris
Sheppard
Bly
Madison
Springs
Vasher
Robinson
Lucas
Mathis
Hall
Baxter
Newman
Taylor
so that'd make him about 22. Even if you diagree with some of the names, tossing 12 to bump his name up would be pretty hard to do.
Smoot has never been a top 10 corner. Top 20, maybe... but like Schneed said above he wasn't even a top 2 guy on the Vikes last year.
To be a top 10 corner, you have to be a #1 on your own team. Smoot has never been the #1 corner.

smoot was a good, solid corner while here, but.... after getting torched by steve smith, getting hurt, and then only playing the nickel for the vikes, i think the writings on the wall.

i have a feeling that the vikings were the beginning of the end for him. if he would have stayed, i bet he would have been worlds better than he is now.

yeah pwned, thats real easy to say. and im sure a ton of professional athletes have the same mindset. or at least until home team a offers 2 million a year and team b offers 6 million a year. and your agent is pushing you towards the money, saying you never know how long your career will last. do you think javon walker feels alittle bit foolish right now?
