Wasn't signed per say. Traded for a dude who didn't make the eagles roster. Honestly probably was a even deal. 

Worley's cap hit is $500K.

Smith's is $5M.

Not even at all.  Not even close.  Unless Rivera/Hurney had been smart enough to cut him.  THEN it would have been even.

5 million isn't anything for a backup WR.

Its way worse than zero for a "backup WR" that can't block and can't catch and "deep threat" that can't beat anyone anymore.

At the time, before acquiring Wright, drafting Moore and the uncertainty of Byrd and Samuel, I can’t say it was that bad. But in hindsight, well he has severely underperformed.

I'd argue that we came out on top because he is at least a positive veteran presence and assisted in shoring up safeties with the Reid signing.

Maybe not worth $5M, but I'd rather have Torrey Smith taking snaps from Samuel/Moore than I would Worley taking snaps from DJax.

When you are trotting out mose Frasier and brentin bersin as starters in a playoff game, Torry Smith for 5 mil is like hitting the lottery

It was a decent idea of a trade by both teams. Both teams traded guys who probably weren't making their rosters anyway. We know Worley didn't work out for the Eagles and we have a pretty good idea that Smith isn't going to work put for us. Now if only our coaching staff would put him in the bench where he belongs. If we want his veteran presence in the locker room for the young WRs, fine. But he shouldn't be taking any snaps away from them on game day.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
