Q: "Did we let Fred Smoot walk away for a mere $300k?"
A: "No way, absolutely not"
Coach then talks about being stable, not losing current players, only lost 3 over the past 3 years. Tried to avoid FA by making 'very good' offer, but went to FA anyway. The offer the Vikes made was millions more than what the Skins could offer. Can't go overboard on one player at the cost of other players. Worried about losing more players. Must balance salaries on your team of same positions. Just didn't work out for us, wish Fred the best. Don't want it to ever happen again in the future. Goal is to be the most stable organization in the league, and thinks we're well on the way. Still need to do a better job to not lose anyone.
