what i found interesting in the news there about him leaving-

"Yeah, I am looking forward to playing the Bucs," he said. "That was definitely one of my driving points. When you play for a team, you feel like you give them all you have. I played safety for them without blinking and for them not to even make me an offer? It's going to be fun playing the Bucs."

about the gun incident-
"I would have reacted the way they reacted," Smith said. "Any time something happens for the second time, it seems like it's a problem. I hate that all the facts can't come out before.
"If it had happened three weeks before, the facts would have been out. But the fact that it happened the day before was tough. You're investing a lot of money on a player; you don't want your money in jail."

stats-
Smith, 26, started all 16 games for the Bucs last season, recording 83 tackles and three interceptions. He had 223 tackles and 12 interceptions in four seasons with Tampa Bay.

and-
Smith's desire was to move on to another team and another position. With the Saints, he is expected to remain at free safety and will be matched up against slot receivers in passing situations.
