Questions for Gibbs

[Daseal]

WeWhite, personally I'd like to know more about the whole Smoot deal. Being as how he was a fan favorite and locker room guy, played with heart and dedication. I especially want to know if it was true that we withdrew our offer for him when more and more CBs started going off the market. I'm also curious if he feels that since Springs played better and Smoot doesn't deserve to make more than him, why weren't they willing to give Pierce Barrow money? There are plenty of examples of people who are getting paid more than someone on the team outplaying them. It's the name of the game.

I'm also curious why he feels it necessary to pay an unproven WR that we essentially paid 9M dollars just to get #1 talent even though he was about to be demoted to 3rd on the Jets depth chart and has yet to play a down in Washington to a number 1 deal. Why are we willing to break a bank for a guy who's mediocre talented, and once his speed is gone his team contributions will soon follow; yet we seem unwilling to keep our own guys in town. If we get a real receiver in here, using Gibbs standards about paying the better player more, what does that mean for the other receiver?

I'm also curious what he thinks of Spurrier as a coach.
