Smoot news

I HIGHLY doubt Smooty will return to D.C. Although no one has yet offered Smoot in excess of $10 million (as a SB), someone surely will. You can take that to the bank.

I'm not sure why we can't up our offer by $2 million...it would only lead to an extra cap hit each season of about 300K. That's nothing.

I agree with Ramsey, there is no way SMoot is coming back without the Skins increasing that signing bonus. Smoot could get a 10 mil bonus today from KC or the Jets to name a couple if he was willing to settle for that.

The Redskins say they will not increase, but they did match a 6.5 bonus on Pierce when they had offered 3.5 reportedly. The problem with the Redskins waiting until another offer comes in though is that any team that signs him is going to frontload the first couple years to make it so that the Skins can't match the terms. The only way they will get smoot is to increase their bonus offer now so that they can set the terms of the contract themselves. Once another team is involved they are not going to make Smoot an offer that could fit in the Skins cap knowing that he wants to be in DC...

On ESPN News Pastabelly said that Smoot isn't getting as much action as he thought he would and he also called him a great young CB. He also said he would not be surprised if he ended up back with the Redskins!!!!!!

This is funny but PFW calls Smoot brash, streaky, and a victim of big plays. He's small and gives up more than 50 lbs to some of the NFL's more elite receivers.......then they add his rating: above average............

And for Smoots asking price appears too high too......sounds like Smoot will remain a Skin.......

I agree, think of it this way. Springs had an awsome season for us last season, but he is known around the league as to be injury proned, is Williams ready to rely on Wilds and Harris as our starting CB's while Springs is healing? I think that Wilds and Harris will do good in Williams D, but I am not sure how they will do with out Springs on the other side.
