Fins CB Sean Smith linked to Chiefs

[Cave Johnson]

Suck it if Q.

It's a story that makes you shake your head, chuckle, and then ask the bartender to turn the TV station over to American Idol because, in comparison, that sh*t seems mature and sensible.

Vontae Davis may or may not have gotten on Twitter yesterday and blurted out that the Kansas City Chiefs are already negotiating a contract with soon-to-be free agent Sean Smith. Smith and Davis are friends from their days in Miami together. Both were drafted by the Dolphins in 2009. Davis was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

Shortly after Davis's Twitter account all but stated that the Chiefs were violating NFL rules regarding tampering, Davis's account sent out the seemingly laughable excuse that it had been hacked. Well, this prompted Sean Smith to address the issue:


Smith then posted this (it's too long to embed the entire tweet):

Ok this is getting out of hand, I've never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins. Yes I talked to vontae and I told him Al Harris (our former coach) got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. That's it! Now why he interpreted that as "talking to KC" idk but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous
OK. That's understandable. So, what about the whole Vontae's Twitter account got hacked thing?


So, you're essentially saying Vontae lied to cover his ass and yours? That's just how I'm reading it.

And if it was just a simple misunderstanding, why did Sean Smith block Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero in Twitter? I mean, all Salguero did was report on what happened. Even Smith's agent seemingly got a little testy with Salguero over the incident. The Miami reporter did what any decent journalist would do in this situation and contacted agent David Canter for a comment. Canter responded with this lovely little gem:

"Don’t believe everything players tell you Armando. Rule number 1 of football journalism."
Really? I had no idea Smith's agent went to journalism school! And is there such a thing as "football journalism?" Does it have its own separate set of rules? Is one of them not believing the words sent out by a verified NFL player's Twitter account?

Look, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Smith is acting so douchey about a reporter actually reporting on something that may or may not be tampering, that kind of suggests that maybe the smoke sent up yesterday might have some fire.

[Pestilence]

$8-$10 million a year for Sean Smith?

I don't see it happening. Crazier things have happened though.

I'd rather sign Sean Smith than draft Dee Milliner #1 overall, and this move would prevent that from being a necessity.

Not that I think they're gospel by any means, but what're Smith's PFF metrics over the last 2 years? Or better yet, FO?

[Hog Farmer]

In 2012, he had two interceptions, 12 pass deflections, as well as two forced fumbles.


WEAKNESSESS:

Missed Guesses


Former Dolphins WRs told the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero that Smith "guesses a lot and a lot of time he guesses wrong."

Smith gave up more combined first downs and touchdowns than any other NFL CB (46).



I think we should just maybe pass on Smith!

5 interceptions in FOUR YEARS

no playmaking ability at all, guesses and whiffs all the time. zero ballhawk skills.

you want a cover guy opposite of Flowers not a guy that will gamble and get burnt, especially with the lack of a talented FS to help behind him we have the god damn human shoulder whiffer back there

Ouch.

I'd rather give Jalil Brown another shot than waste money and time on Sean Smith

[FRCDFED]

I would rather start a rookie CB and watch him grow just like we did with Flowers and Carr.
