Titans Agree to Terms with DT Robaire Smith

Joy in Titanville again!:nana2: :koolaid:

Beats all the people we saw ready to jump off a bridge after the second preseason game.
:banana:

 

Brill signing!!!

 

Excellent. Things are looking up for the defense.

 

i think we're at 53. dequincy scott failed his physical so we didnt have to release anyone.

 

Thanksgiving come early, and Robaire and Hanesworth has plenty of stuffin for oppossing running backs.

 

Geez that's corny...but I like it.

Great that a signing went our way. Robeast is one veteran I'm certainly glad to have back. This is going to be a strong rotation, and Robaire should shake Starks out of his doldrums.

 

Wow we got him real cheap:

'Smith's agent, Mike Harrison, and the Titans initially discussed a long-term deal, but eventually decided on a one-year contract that will pay Smith a base salary of $585,000 along with a $415,000 signing bonus. Harrison said the 49ers, Jaguars and Browns were among teams interested.'

On a one year deal he has a real incentive to play hard & earn himself a longterm payday.:wink2:

 

i think you hit the nail on the head. It was a smart move. We are projected to have 20-30m in cap space next year. A good solid year and he will get another 20m dollar contract. If signed to a long term this quickly after a late cut, probably could only muster a 10m dollar contract.

 

i dont know, i would have liked it to be a long-term deal.
