Re: Saints, Will Smith reportedly working on restructuring his contract
I can live with that.
Papz convinced me that while he may be a weee bit undersized, he's still big enough and from what I'm reading about this 1-gap 3-4, Smith may be a good fit on the weakside. I just hope we don't overpay for him. 3 to 4 mill/yr sounds about right. |

Re: Saints, Will Smith reportedly working on restructuring his contract
I'd love to see this happen. A lot of people are throwing Smith under the bus, but I'd love to see him stay with the team.

Re: Saints, Will Smith reportedly working on restructuring his contract
The new salary would have to be in the ballpark of $3-4M, like Danno suggested, in order for this to be a good move considering the future of the Saints' defense, because it won't be a 1-year contract with those figures.
Still, I'd love to see a youth movement, but the "dead money" already invested in Smith makes the restructure a more appealing option than it would've perhaps been otherwise. |

Never threw Smith under the bus... He couldn't get out of the way on his own.
