thats going to happen anyways.

springs is still undercontract for several more years, so it doesnt matter what smoot makes compared to springs.

one points you're missing is every year the salary cap increases with players salaries. also, players salaries are determined by demand. cornerbacks are in demand. ken lucas and henry are not as good as springs, but they are making more than he is. thats how free agency works.

um, lets try this again... 2mill a year for smoot WOULD be a bargain, but over the first 3 years washington offered about $15mill and the vikes offered 20mill$... it was not 300k, the signing bonus is not the same thing as the entire contract. the vikess also gave a 6 year contract, skins only offered 5.

I'm not missing the point, i understand how the cap works just fine. I said WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT, THIS IS WHAT GIBBS HAS SAID, many many times now. In a sellers market prices are higher, and there's some inflation every year. BUT, smoot was offered slightly more than springs even though he wasn't as good, so i think the offer was fair enough.
