So, What are the Chances of Adding FS Dwight Smith?

**Mr. Kotter** · 07-23-2006, 10:28 PM

Saftey pay being what it is, is there any chance we sign him?

I mean, maybe a one year deal???

I say, probably "no...."

I figure between Hali, and trying to secure and pay Gonzo and LJ, and maybe Mitchell and Allen, for the long term....there won't be enough money.

I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see him playing FS for us next year, especially with the addition of Law now.

It probably won't happen. But I will ejaculate if it does. I'll probably ejaculate either way.

Smith can probably be had for $3 million or so....maybe $14-15 million over 4-5 years.

Safety is way underappreciated, AND "under-paid" by NFL standards.

Why not take advantage of that and upgrade this team, in this narrow "window" we have, on the 'cheap?'

Our shot here is that the cap is going to inflate majorly next year.......and we have some players due to age and cuts that will probably be coming off. I don't see it happening but if they plan this out it could be possible.

We'd probably have to give a nice bonus though and I don't know how keen Lamar is going to be to that this year especially after Law.

I agree. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. But, I don't think it's in the budget.

Good grief, I replied to you in the camp battles thread regarding this, didnt realize you just made a thread about it.

I did read something to where he is interested in going back to Tampa, and the short list of teams interested did not include KC. things change though (meaning $)

Tampa was after 10 million dollar
Charles Woodson for safety
Smith will be easy money

blueballs · 07-23-2006, 10:57 PM

Law agrees to a contract
with in a few short hours
Chiefs fans dream of other FAs

ChiefFan31 · 07-23-2006, 10:58 PM

here is something I just found. A small newsclip about Smith

Vikings | Team may visit with D. Smith as early as Monday
Sat, 22 Jul 2006 16:36:35 -0700

Kevin Seifert, of the Star Tribune, reports the Minnesota Vikings may host free agent S Dwight Smith (Saints) as early as Monday, July 24. Smith has a strong relationship with Vikings defense coordinator Mike Tomlin when the two were with Tampa Bay. As previously noted, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reportedly also are interested in signing Smith, who also can play at nickel back in their cover-2 defense.
