Great News, But I sure hope we can sign him. I like to compare him to D. Green as being a true Redskin with a big hart and passion for his team. His skills are not of a D.Green but could be as time goes by. Haveing Gibbs as our coach I would Think helps the Redskins chances of keeping smoot

Well i don't think he is a shutdown corner as much as a big play corner. I would rather have a shutdown corner but big play ability is next on the list. I'd say he is top 10 CB in the league but not on the coberage level of Bailey. It is REALLY hard to get quality CBs in this league and losing our top two in two seasons probably strikes the front office as looking awfully stupid so I think they'll do what it takes to get the job done. It's not like they can count on there being another Springs out there to replace Smoot if they lose him. He'll get good money but I bet not Champ money. I don't think he has the respect of the league like that.

We couldn't keep both Bailey and Smoot, so when the decision was made to trade Bailey, I think the decision was also made to push hard to keep Smoot.

I wasn't a big fan of Smoot early on, but last year the guy won me over by playing hurt and playing well while hurt. He's doing the same thing this year too. It's hard to not just love the guy.

I think Smoot should get slightly more than Springs, but not Bailey money.

GREAT NEWS!!! concur though not Bailey money...............

[QUOTE=Ramseyfan]Smoot and the 'Skins are in contract extension talks and Smoot is optimistic about completing a deal soon.

Thank God![/QUOTE]
