I'm not gonna bash you about the Smoot thing because, frankly, I don't really care. I knew he wasn't coming back when the season ended and he said he didn't think he was coming back. That said, he's right about the cap hit. You can talk all you want about how we could have matched the Smoot offer people, but if we did, how would we sign our draft picks? The 9 mil cap hit broke our back and left us unable to sign him. I don't really mind, I think he can be replaced and he didn't deserve more dough than Springs.
I just wish we didn't have to take this hit because Moss wants a new deal and I don't know about you all, but I think it hurts us in an attempt to sign draft picks. Can anyone tell me Sean Taylor's cap number from last year?
