I wouldn’t really call Donovan Smith a street free agent. He was an established, Super Bowl winning LT who had been starting for almost a decade. Reiter was literally a league minimum scab we picked up off the scrap heap.
I see your point, though. Many people were uncomfortable just handing the LT job to Smith because he did seem washed. We were lucky enough to squeeze one last decent season out of him, but I definitely wouldn’t roll the dice like that again, and they clearly didn’t want to, either.
