Smith is still a good DE and best of all he can be a great DE with Spags as the DC as he has a very different approach to the position than GW did.

I don't see any reason for them to cut ties with Smith at this point in time, and they don't seem to either since they worked out a restructure with him in order to make his deal more cap friendly.

And I agree with you Mitch on the principle, but I do see DT as the bigger need and then CB, because as we all know - that interior pressure can make things a lot easier for the DBs in general.
