2) Smith's next contract will be expensive, so they'll be less likely and able to sign FAs that can fill in holes or from re-signing other key guys on the roster.

People keep saying they missed out on two starters, when in actuality, it's 1.
They missed out on 1 potential stater, 2nd round pick, in exchange for a franchise qb.
