Its funny, but I honestly think Smith will take a bit less than someone else in his position, we obviously dont know him, but based on everything I've read and good old gut instinct, he'll take less in exchange for the assurance that he is The Man somewhere.
Dude surely knows he isnt getting any younger and doesnt want to repeat this process with some coach who doesnt think as much of him as Reid does... he'll want to get it done and still leave us enough money to deepen the team around him, I would bet serious jack on it... winners want to win at any cost.

He's the type of player who would take a bit less than his market value to help the team bring in and keep more good players around him.
