If the route they take is re-signing Smith this offseason, I hope they are smart about it.
I don't care if they give the guy a 6 year deal worth 70 million, as long as its not etched in stone past the first two. There has to be an escape clause in case of injury/underperformance.
5.5 million (with a 15 million signing bonus) 1st year
7 the second
8 the third (with a roster bonus of around 3 million)
9 in the fourth
11 in the fifth
12 in the sixth
I could deal with something like that if he plays well in the postseason and we win AT LEAST ONE PLAYOFF GAME.
