Whether or not the Coles trade had anything to do with the Skins not resigning Smoot is up for debate. However, I will not ever be convinced that it was a better decision for us to trade Coles for the incredibly average Moss than it would have been to just take the 5 mil give back and release him. Snyder just needed to save face and get something for him since he gave a #1 to get him and he also didn';t want anyone dictating to him what he should and shouldn't do. Snyder basically bit off his nose to spite his face. He could have signed a couple free agents that are better than Moss with that 5 mil in cap space. Instead he got an average player in Moss who needs an extension and a 9 mil cap hit. This is a disaster and I just can't even believe that there are people trying to spin it positive...
