I think he will be ready to play when the season starts. I don't worry about these situations, they are doing what they are suppose to do. They are suppose to get the money talk out of the way, during the offseason.

News: In a recent interview, Will Smith told reporters that contract talks with the Saints are ongoing, according to uticaod.com. Smith indicated that he would like to remain a Saint, but only if the contract is right: “I’d like to stay with the same team my whole career… I love New Orleans. I love the people there … But then again, it’s a business.”

Who Dat Say: If we can spend $63 million on Charles Grant, why can’t we do the same for Will Smith, who was selected as a team captain last year? I expect the Saints to do whatever it takes to keep our pass-rushing defensive end in New Orleans, especially considering the organization’s apparent desire to mimic the Giants’ success last year in establishing a dominant front four. Grant still has 6 years remaining on the monster contract he signed last year, and Sedrick Ellis will probably get a 5-year rookie contract. If we can lock up Smith for another five to seven years, that means these three potential stars on the defensive line will be terrorizing Matt Ryan for the next five years.

Grant should give some of his money to Smith--we are not getting our money's worth out of him.

I have to say I didn't see this one coming but in the end IMO he'll sign, the Saints will work something out that both sides will be happy with..
We really need Smith and he knows it.

I predict a MONSTER year for Smith(barring an injury). Ellis + Vilma + improved CB play =pro bowl for #91
