I dont see how Smith botched this. I like DRob and all, but he is not the 4th best CB in the league, and yet he turned down money that would have equaled #4 highest paid CB.
On one hand he is on the cusp of becomming a pro bowler, and the other he hasnt been able to get over that hump. Take that and the injury he is comming off of and turning down that much guaranteed over that long seems either greedy or dumb. I think the contract they offered was more than they should have. What is the GM supposed to do? If they caved and payed every player what they wanted it would be impossible to even field a team.
Demeco was supposedly offered #3-#4 money for a LB and turned it down also. This was reported by McClain on the radio the other day, which is why i said supposedly.
