I only see 5 that I would take over Smith.  Explain to me how he is over paid again??

[chknwing]

Can u make this a list? You know, hit the Return key.

[Cary Kollins]

You only see 5 that you would take over Smith?  Out of the entire list?  I got about 17.

[Bogart]

If he stays it's 7 this coming season, 9 in 2015 and 12 in 2016 without redoing it. 4 million is base but there is another 3 that kicks in on July 1.

Sometimes homerism takes it's toll.
Not to mention this is the 5000000000000000000000000000
Thread about the same fugging poo.
Zooooooooooooood!

He's overpaid, but that doesn't mean those others aren't either. He should take a pay cut, but only if there is a better receiver on the roster. Right now there isn't. If he's our best wr he should be paid like it. It's not his fault they've done a piss poor job at the position. If we sign Nicks there is more leverage to get him to reduce that number.

Wes Welker is a tie for me.

If he were only going to be getting paid that much next season, he wouldn't be overpaid. It's what happens when his '15 and '16 gets that gets gaudy numbers. Basically, if he is on the roster after June 1st, I think his numbers go automatically on the books, whether we cut him or not, for 9 million in '15 and something even stupider like 12 miil for '16.

I don't think anyone has a problem with him getting paid 5 mil next season...it's what happens after that because of the dead money and cap hit that will kill us in trying to re-sign cam, Luke or anybody else for that matter.

Basically, we're pretty much screwed if we either a) don't get Smitty off the books before June 1st or he won't restructure.

I love Steve Smith to death.  His Jersey  is the only one outta the 4 I own that I've worn to every game, but the facts are this-

 

He is still a solid receiver.  No where near as great as he was a few years ago though.  Story book ending would be for him to go out on his own terms but the facts are that we have to have a changing of the guard and there are many receivers on that list that are in their primes.    The only ones I'd have no interest in are Hartline, Washington, Jennings ( past prime)    Johnson ( at this stage / good reciever but in the same boat as Smith but hurt alot.Amendola and others to many to name and to hard to read the list but-

 

Most of  all the other receivers are still legit #1's imo

Brandon Marshall?

Victor Cruz?

Harvin, desean Jackson, V Jack, Mike Wallace....


We are not talking about 2011 Steve Smith.

[Phil]

man how is calvin johnson not the highest paid wr in the game?  teams over pay for the first player they can get their hands on, that's why.

[TheNewStandard]

This and about 5 other redundant threads repeating the exact thing over and over should magically disappear...much like the op of this thread.

Both jacksons?

[Eminent Rogaine]

Marshall for sure. I'd rather have smith than Colston. Trying to take the homer goggles off, I only see like 6 or 7 i'd rather have.

 

We should have out bid Chicago for Marshall when he was with the Dolphins; that is the kind of WR we need for Cam.
