I dunno why Smith took it off of the table in the first place ? Sounds very amateurish to me ? I mean say you don't want to use that card, don't intend to use but don't say you won't use it then paint yourself in a corner and end using it and therefor compromising your credibility and worse your integrity.

"Let me be clear - this wasn’t one of McClain’s recent blog entries where he speculated on what the Texans would offer Dunta. He actually said that he knew Dunta turned down $23 million in guaranteed money."
"If Dunta left $23 million on the table, then there are only three possible explanations I can come up with, and none of them are good:
1 - Dunta wanted out of Houston.
2 - Dunta wanted to test the market.
3 - Dunta is not nearly as smart as I thought he was."

I always thought there was a possibility that D-Rob wanted to leave H-Town. Not because he disliked the city or because he didn't like his teammates or coachs, but perhaps he'd already had an informal agreement with another team that was a real playoff-contender and not a want-a-be contender ? We all know
how bad he wants to get into the playoffs and compete for a ring.
