My take on Smoot when he was here was that he was a Marine. I don't know what happened to him in Minnesota-perhaps the money softened him, but I never saw anything to complain about when he was here. I might be tempted to take a chance on him. His time in Washington couldn't have been as bad as his time up there so maybe he would consider it.
Some will bring up the sex boat, but really, I mean if you can't have group sex with strippers on a boat, what's the point of being a professional athlete? What's the point of going on in this world at all? In a world where there are no maritime orgies or peeing in people's yards, I think the living would envy the dead.

For the right price, sure bring him back. I agree w/ 70Chip, when he was here, he gave it his all. I don't think he was a particular favorite of GW so I am guessing he won't be back. Unlike Arrington, I don't think there was a lot of bad blood between him and Skins. Maybe he would be open to coming back. I don't think we just hand him a starting spot. Regardless of his opinion of himself, I think he has to prove he is a number 1 or 2 CB in this league.

Exactly...for the right price, Smoot would love to go ........fill in the blank. That's not a knock on him, just the way it is usually.

TAFKAS:
Even though I would be the first to hail the return to Warpath.net of the one and only "Smootsmack", I have to say that I'd rather have Dre Bly in my DB than Freddy.
Don't know if the Skins could come up with something the Lions would take in exchange for Bly; but if they could, that would give them a cover corner that they have on the roster ONLY if Springs is 100% healthy.
Let's see. Bly or Smoot? If that one gives you pause then you'd probably also pause if given the choice between Antonio Pierce and Brian Urlacher...

bly is better, but GW seems to ignore CBs unless they're great tacklers. he passed on smoot and andre dyson to draft carlos rogers because of it, so i think clements is the only real target.
I've heard whispers of a possible return to the Skins for Smoot.
We'll have to wait and see.
My guess is he's on our list of potential targets, but probably a 3rd option at best depending on what happens with the other top corners.

Uh yes we could guarantee him a starting job he is alrady better than carlos rogers who is this close to becoming a bust and springs always hurt and the thought of moving him to safety and with 2 cbs kenny wright and ade jimoh as unrestricted free agents why cant we guarantee him a starting job he should have never left in the first place but JOE GIBBS DIDNT WANT TO PAY HIM MORE THAN SHAWN SPRINGS!!!! even though he is better i dont care whant madden says
