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.

The headline and first paragraph of that Chronicle article are misleading at best. In the quote Smith never says that he would not tag Dunta, but rather that he didn't want to. That's a big difference.

Only Smith and Robinson and his agent know what was actually said during negotiations, but the Chronicle doesn't seem to be accurately characterizing what he's saying now. If he didn't want to do it but ultimately decided he had to
he didn't change his mind.

turning down 23mil is not to bright Drob, maybe you aren't being honest with us either for some reason?
