Steve Smith Highlights 2001-2005?


Recommended Posts

Ive been hard pressed to find anything before 06' and its getting kind of frustrating. I was wondering if anybody happened to know where to find some of his earlier highlights maybe his punt return TD's or something from 03 other than the St Louis catch?

I would greatly appreciate your help

I see your point hdev, but perhaps they make more scratch from the clicks on their site (advertising dollars)? Or the cost of producing & marketing those for every team would far outweigh their projected revenues from it? They definitely have more control over their product which appears to be a big deal to them. I would have to believe that $$ is the reason behind that decision.

its hard to find anything on their server past before 08 but i did find some 07 weekly highlights. I was thinking the same thing hdevonxz it kind makes sense because people are still going to go to nfl.com for recent videos and what not. oh well guess they are just stuck in my mind for the time being

On the old nfl.com, before the big make over to flash, you used to be able to download highlights, though they would be in some weird format.

There is one vid on youtube of Steve Smith that features a couple of old school plays of him, a TD return against the Bengals.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
