Hey, we complained about the Redskins not being fiscally responsible in the past. The team is trying to be more responsible with money. You're gonna lose a "star" player from time to time. Can't have it both ways.

Smoot was loved (and still is) by 'Skins fans because he did have a pretty good season this year and he had a great personality. Gibbs did think of Smoot as being a core Redskin. But, so what? We lost Bailey - clearly the top CB in the league, and our defense improved. We can't give every player we like the exact contract he wants - there comes a time when you draw the line.
