I would like a younger guy to come in and eventually take my spot. I don't want to be a No. 1 anymore. I don't want to be a guy who can't let go of something he's got to let go. I would like to be a guy that can play in the slot all day...

To be honest, the next five years, I want to enjoy playing. And I really haven't enjoyed playing because I had goals where I was like 'I want this', 'I want that.' And in the process, I kind of forgot that I'm playing my dream. So I just want to settle down and fade away in a good way, not in a bad way.

This is the writing on the wall... Smith is giving us a head's up... He ain't gonna be playing at his level much longer, and would like his last few years to be good years, where the pressure isn't squarely on his shoulders in the passing game...

We have to go WR in the second, and we have to get a starter...

Tate.

I really hope that when the time comes we have managed to find someone who can be at least 3/4 of the receiver that Smith is. Tate could be that guy, he just isn't quite as fast as Smith but seems shifty and tough to tackle.

who can blame him.. imagine having a 2nd solid receiver for the last 5 years.. any excuse as to why we don't need or want a solid 2nd guy is fuging stupid.. you are taking away fire power, I don't care how good our running game is.. it wasn't good enough in the playoff game.. that turned out fuging great... and when injuries decimated us in '05, we were left blown out because we didn't have 1 more guy to step up..

we should have done this poo 5 years ago.. and yet, in 2010's offseason, we are still letting top quality players go... very frustrating..

i agree. and i'm simply surprised that it's taken smitty this long to speak up. i'm sure he's maybe said a few things here and there throughout the years, but never this substantial. and when you think about it, not too many guys really speak their words on our team. and for smith to say something, i think the coaching staff and FO have to at least consider smiths words of wisdom. the guy needs a 2nd receiver to really reach his complete potential, i just wish the FO would see this and not just the fans and steve smith.

If it's not a WR my tv is going out the window.

same.. matter of fact, with their track record, we better be going for 2 WRs...

If we were to ever trade next years 1st, this would be a smart year to do it.. forget that we've done that 2 years in a row.. if we did it in the past, it makes more sense to do it this year.

thats the whole problem with this draft and with they way this offseason went down. we almost have to get starters out of a lot of our draft picks!

what is funny is that we have 2 1st round allstar caliber running backs and a oline designed to run and we were the 3rd best running team. with that much invested we should have been the #1 team running the football.

the problem is when you can't throw the ball because defenses stack 4 guys on Smitty.. you have to run, stack the box and game over.

all we need is 1 guy to step up.. our FO hasn't done anything to help with that. any excuses, are bullshit. there have been opportunities.. face the fact, we will stay mediocre on offense come playoff time until we change our philosophy a bit. until then, we are sitting by praying we even make the playoffs.. real respectable..

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
