Trade Fred Smoot for Adam Archuleta?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I do recall Smoot's mouth writing checks his play couldn't cash! Maybe if he would just shut the hell up and play, I would feel differently.

Smoot was not that bad of a CB. I think that there are some better ones out there but with the 5 yard chuck rule and with the WR position being the one that has the best athletes I think that the CB has the hardest job of anyone on the field. Finding a reliable CB is almost imposibble today that is why we need safeties that can actually handle receivers as well as conerbacks can.


I do not think that AA will be that bad of an aquisition after all is said and done. He certainly has the skills maybe a good off season will help him out...at least let's hope so.

Let's just end the silly trade Archuleta talk. Nobody and I repeat Nobody is going to trade for him, so let's just stop. Please.

Smooty flakes broke his jaw in a car accident. That sounds fun.

Wow! No smack from Smoot for a while I guess. Hope he recovers ok

Smoot was a serviceable-to-decent #2, but there were times when he got spread open and buttered.

Still, I'll take a flawed Fred Smoot over any of the dopes we have now.

I was always behind the decision not to resign Smoot. He wasn't even close to deserving that kind of money. On the other hand I was all for the contracts to Arch and Lloyd so I give myself a D for evaluating those three hit or miss type of free agents. After breaking his jaw I would say Smoot's career in Minny is done and if he is released hell no do we want that guy back! Not a team player oh and he weighs like 167 ponds with his helmet and pads on while also holding a ten pound bag of weed. I'd rather keep Arch and of course as many have said no one trades for bums with massive Dan Snyder overinflated type contracts.

Sound good lets do it right now.

Whooaa...I don't know about that! Smoot wasn't as good as Champ Bailey, but Smoot could cover (better than what our secondary has been doing this year!) He also was a very good tackler. It couldn't hurt us by taking Freddy back!


Smooty was serviceable as a cover corner, but a good tackler he was not. When it came to tackling he was much like his predecessor #21. He thought all there was to playing corner, was to cover, he often wound up injured when he attempted to tackle. Had he been better at that element of his game, the team would have been willing to pay him what he was looking to get in a new contract.

I would take him for AA though, if Minnesota would take his contract too.

I think bringing Smoot back would be a lift for this D, which by all accounts has sufferred from a lack of chemistry among other things. Smoot was popular among players & did bring a certain enthusiasm to the game. He was a starter on the best D (04) this team has had in many years.
The espn article said that Minn. might cut him, but I haven't seen anything substantive about how it would impact their cap, which would be the deciding factor. anyone have info on how it would affect their cap?
