What players are being removed for Smittys salary. No Oher. No Coleman. 

Smith was part of ONE winning season in his last 5 here. And we made the playoffs 3 of 4 years after him. So we may never see the SB with his “presence”

I could care less about Coleman being sign or not, he was a product of Norman playing at the highest level Cb in 2015. Smith played until 2016, we went 7-8-1,15-1, and 6-10......so yeah not much pointing towards addition by subtraction 

keep it in perspective also, I’d rather have smith than cotchery, avant,Shepard, and any other fa WR not named ted ginn

Of course. Doesn’t fit the narrative. How about Oher? Coleman has a good season. Smith was finished before the SB was even played. And we had our best offense ever. 

  It’s just as likely he blindsides Cam upside the head before 2014 even starts. Not that it would ever happen? Oh wait.....

Read above, keep it in perspective, I’d take smith over the avants, Shepard’s, and jerichos we added since his departure. 

Now we’re in make believe land, Smith who hadn’t had a incident with a teammate since a decade ago all of a sudden hit cam or something along the lines of that......be real

If he had brought in other quality receivers to replace him I would have agreed with you.  Gettleman did absolutely nothing to replace SS. So I 100% disagree with you.   If Cam didn't like SS too freaking bad.  SS showed he had plenty left in the tank in Baltimore. 

He's also spot on with the firing of a GM weeks before training camp.  Obviously he had zero people skills and to be honest his talent evaluation is suspect. 

We had no money and Steve wouldn't take a cut. We where completely choked by very bad contracts and Steve's was one we could free up space with. Pretty simple. They way it was handled was completely unacceptable but it doesn't change the facts it was necessary. We couldn't afford a replacement in FA and the best WR we could get was Benjiman, who had 1000 yards.

He wasn't spot on, DG was never a long term option here. It wasn't how JR wanted things handled pre and post cap hell bail out. He burnt his bridges along the way and when him and Ron split after the Norman fiasco, it was the perfect time to bring back a JR guy again. JR got what he wanted in the end and we have been a worse team since then for it. Ron and DG were at there best together, flawed but highly functional. Don't be a egomaniac dick and dont be a blind enabler of feeling based decisions. Neither of them are capable of not being those things so it came to the inevitable conclusion.

Gettleman probably would have too. But Smith cost 10M and the others around 2M. We couldn’t afford him. We had 27M in dead cap. 12.5.in a tag on Hardy. 2 overpaid RBs we couldn’t cut. 

 You just want to hypothetically insert a perfect scenario for Smitty. When reality is a near perfect scenario DID happen. I don’t have to wonder. 

  June of 2008 was not a decade earlier than 2014. How many reports are there of SS blowing up at numerous people? That’s the other reason he got sent on. You can disregard it all you want, but it was definitely part of the process. So....make believe huh?

First off you started the hypothetical when stating we may not have made it to the super bowl with smith on the roster. Lol it was not 2m for the avants, Jerichos etc, how much dead money did we take on from releasing smith 

you’re back pedaling, it has been well over a deacade since smith has been involved in a physical altercation with a teammate, like you suggested he would against cam and than call me out for an hypothetical.....poetic

    • Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds. 
    • Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet. 
    • Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
