i meant 300k more in signing bonus. paying smoot 2 mill a year for the first 3 years is a bargain.
btw, if the skins draft a corner with the 9th pick, he is going to get nearly the same amount of money.

thats going to happen anyways.
springs is still undercontract for several more years, so it doesnt matter what smoot makes compared to springs.
one points you're missing is every year the salary cap increases with players salaries. also, players salaries are determined by demand. cornerbacks are in demand. ken lucas and henry are not as good as springs, but they are making more than he is. thats how free agency works.
