dwight smith?

Smith actualy does have quality CB experience. The word is Minnesota is pursuing him to play the nickel spot. I personally don't understand our seeming lack of interest in the guy. He could help our D alot.

 

We don't need another safety. Plus, it's not like he's that great.

 

he is experienced at CB- I believe he played corner his first two years in the league...

 

ya we need to fill the cornerback spot up with better people

 

He's not great, but he's very good, definite upgrade for us...

 

any idea of home much of our 5.5 mill he'll take up?

 

If my calculations are correct I believe it's approximately 63 dollars and 93 cents...But Hey, this is coming from the guy that isn't that great at math..

 

"The four years that were remaining on his New Orleans contract were for base salaries of $1.2 million (for 2006), $1.6 million (2007),"

That's pretty cheap for a quality secondary, and apparently he has corner type skills if needed for backup. There must be something else behind the scenes going on if nobody took the trade.

 

From ESPN today...
"A former Akron standout, and the third-round pick of the Bucs in the 2001 draft, Smith is the kind of safety many teams want now, an interior defender with cornerback-level coverage skills. In fact, Smith started his career with the Bucs as a standout nickel cornerback and then was moved to safety 2003.

Smith, 27, provides a defense with tremendous flexibility because of his hybrid skills and his ability to move out into the slot and cover wide receivers."

I think we should make a play. But that's just me.

 

If he comes to Tennessee will we have to say bye bye to Andre????...
