Has Smoot Missed His Payday?

The article also says were interested in Plaxico, where is that coming from?
Don't know...at one point they say our offer to Smoot will go down due the the Coles/Moss trade, but then we are interested in Burress, who won't come cheap. Just shows that nobody really knows....especially Yahoo sports.

Well, the deal the Giants are rumored to have offered Plax is less than we payed Patten. So it's not THAT outragious.

last i heard NY floated burress a 4mill$ bonus type deal that wasn't very impressive... we don't really want him though... he's just another 50/50.

I'm sure his agent is telling him that, and it's always easy to believe what you want to hear.

One other thing to remember is that Smoot has been taking advice from C. Bailey. Does anyone else recall all the articles about how Champ was telling Smoot to be sure and get his value.

Regardless of what you think of his abilities, Bailey is definitely a "show me the money" guy. This is not intended to start a bash Champ thread, but if Champ is giving Smooty advice, I can see why Smoot is holding back.

But he hasn't accepted it yet, has he? Even if he does, I think the FO is content with our WR corps, at least until the draft.

Who's Smoot's agent anyway? It seems like he would've visited many teams already. :oink:

The vikes have a lot of cash. They may well pull the trigger on Smoot, unfortunately. I've resigned myslef to losing Smoot. At this point, all someone needs to do is beat our signing bonus of 10 mil, and they've got him. I'd say Smoot is worth 11 mil, given the market. Smoot's pretty much all that's left of the good FA CBs, so expect some team to get nervous about missing the boat and pay the cash.

C'mon Smooty, take the $10.5M!
