I would be willing to trade him to the Falcons for a 2025 7th round pick and send back a conditional 6th round pick to the Falcons if Smith plays at least 30% of their offensive snaps against us this year. I would do anything possible to put him in a Falcons uniform.

The one thing I will disagree with in your post bako is your point about him staying healthy. Compared to the amount of injuries we’ve had at other wide receiver options like Thomas and Jarvis Landry, etc. Smith has been very available. There were games when he was our best option even last year, when Olave was out with his concussions. I don’t think it’s necessarily his blocking that keeps him on the team, it’s the fact that he’s the one receiver that we’ve had consistently that knows the system. It is available to play over the last five years.
