He basically said that Rick Smith lied to him, or lied to his agent.
I can kinda sympathize with him because he's the one most at risk here since all of his leverage is gone for future years negotiating if he suffers another bad injury this season while Smith & Kubiak can observe him along with the younger corners like Bennet & Mouldin in 2009 and then pick and choose at the end of the year (or during the '09 season if they so desire).
On the other hand 10M ain't chicken-feed and if it weren't for the lucrative industry known as the NFL which was conceived and developed by entrepreneurs who risked their own capital D-Rob would be pumpimg gas for a living (if he lived in Oregon).
