How do I see him gone, question should be how can you see him coming back??
The latest word is both sides are still far apart on $$ and just going by what Gibbs has said, it really sounds like the Skins are going to play hardball with Smoot and aren't going to give him a penny more than they are offering.
Smoot is looking for a bonus in the range of $14M, the Skins are reportedly offering around $10M, that's a significant gap.
Smoot is looking for big time money and I don't blame him, but the team can't afford to tie up mega bucks at the corner position, not when other key guys need to be re-signed as well like Pierce.
My gut feeling is the decision has been made to start Harris next year along with Springs. Williams really likes the younger guys too like Wilds, and perhaps they'll pick up a cheap free agent corner to back up Harris.
