SMootSMack is back?

[MonkFan4Life]

YES !!!!! BRING SMOOTY FLAKES BACK !!!!!

That was my dog ! I met him at the draft party when Washington took Sean Taylor, he was cool. Get that guy back in Washington ! For less money too ! Let's go Danny Boy !!!

Okay, here's what's running through my mind.

Release Springs...bring in Smoot, sign Clements..and get one hella DT/DE in the draft.

This could be an interesting week fellas!

I don't think we have much of a chance at Clements.

I don't either, I think our best hope will be Smoot and/or Bly.

If we sign both, do one of these guys play as a nickel? I would think that would be a waste unless we're saying something about Rogers.

So how much $ is he worth?
I say no more than a $5mil signing bonus & 3-4 years. Problem is he'll still feel he deserves to be paid by the Skins cause we let him sign w/the vikes. Hopefully he'll have some sentimental attachment & sign for reasonable $.

All I know is he's worth less than what he originally wanted here before he left. He doesn't have the same leverage that he once had.

I'd rather have Smoot over Bly and over a hugely paid Clements. I am still counting on Rogers progressing. He wasn't as bad last year as it seemed. Springs needs to restructure. I don't get why it is so sticky.

Same here. I don't see what all the talk over Bly is about. Maybe I missed something.

I wonder with Springs if they are trying to work a incentive based deal based on games played? In other words, the more games he misses due to injuries, it cuts into his contract.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Yeah, there's no way he's worth now, after being released by a team, what he was when he left Washington via FA a few years ago. At the same time though, his agent might realize that the Skins need a lot of help in the secondary and that could drive up the price a little bit.

[JoeRedskin]

Who knows, maybe he turns out to be our Jeremiah Trotter - Comes back to his original team after chasing big FA bucks and turns in a pro-bowl performance or two.

[FRPLG]

Our needs shouldn't up the price. The market will set it. They have no leverage to charge us more than whatever anyone else will pay regardless of our needs. If they base their decision on our needs they would be doing it just to be jerks. Basically they'd be saying..."I'll take less to sign somewhere else because we want you to overpay for us."
