Football Fins CB Sean Smith linked to Chiefs - Page 5

Suck it if Q.

Quote:

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.

Cassel and Smith are nothing alike. Absolutely nothing. It's a baseless statement. Smith isn't the answer, but he's a lot better of a player than Matt Cassel.

I also think Andy Reid is 1 million times better as a coach than Romeo.

The career stats might be the same but Cassel wasn't the #1 pick and thrown into a sh*t storm like Smith. Cassel also played on possibly one of the greatest teams of all time. Thats how we got suckered into him tossin the ball up to Moss at that time would pad anybodies stats. 2010 I can't explain luck I guess

.

This is honestly way too confident of a statement from you.

Based on everything we've learned about Alex Smith he's a lot like Matt Cassel.

Now I don't doubt that he will never be as bad as Cassel was these last two seasons, but to suggest he has a higher ceiling strikes me as a reach.

So those 1s in my exclamation mark didnt spell out the sarcasm?

How about Sam Shields from the Packers if Sean Smith is a no go.

ESPN's Adam Schefter estimated on NFL32 that Sean Smith will command in the range of $7 million to $7.5 million annually in free agency.
Per Schefter, Smith is widely viewed around the league as the top cornerback available. We prefer Aqib Talib, and perhaps teams would if he were cleaner off the field. Smith, who played college ball at Utah, is squeaky clean and only 25 years old. Look for the Chiefs, Eagles, Buccaneers, and perhaps Jaguars to contact Smith when the negotiating period opens Friday at midnight.

Sorter · 03-07-2013, 05:05 PM

I also would prefer Talib.

Or Rhodes, Amerson, or Banks at #34. Wait...

Amerson can be had in the 3rd rd from what I've seen.

Direckshun · 03-07-2013, 05:40 PM

I think Amerson can be had in the 3rd, too.

Unfortunately, we will probably need to take the best QB available in that spot.

Sorter · 03-07-2013, 05:41 PM

Depending on how the draft went, that would be extremely intradasting. Of course, this whole late 1st-3rd is going to be crazy decision-wise as there are so many prospects that likely have similar grades.

Honestly, it seems like everybody has a 2nd round grade this year.

Which means shit value for most teams in the 1st, and great value for most teams in the 3rd.
