Richard Smith Cut? - Page 2

Macroach · 09-27-2004, 04:08 PM

Just saw it on Sportsline. Apparently Chris Horn's game sealed his fate.

I want Tim Couch... but it sounds like he's injured for a few more weeks.

Recommendation: Couch has had a lousy 2004 so far. First the Browns sign Jeff Garcia in the spring and wouldn't let Couch work out at their training complex in the offseason because they feared he'd get injured and they'd be on the hook for his last two years on his deal. Then after two months of haggling with the Packers he signs with them but gets a sore arm in camp because he didn't get the proper off-season work in. The good news is that Dr. James Andrews checked him out last week and diagnosed two-to-four weeks of rest and no surgery. Once Couch's arm is okay, he's expected to sign with the Colts. As a 27-year old with 59 career NFL starts, Couch would be an ideal backup for Peyton Manning.

I'm happy about Horn.

That move will probably be the turning point in our season.......

If we signed Couch, I would only be happy if he was #2 (although I doubt if he would be better than Collins, because of his knowledge of the offense) because I would rather not tie up cap money in a third stringer that is never going to see the field.

They waived Richard Smith?? The Richard Smith? The guy the fans were clamoring would be a deep threat and the reason why the Chiefs didn't need to make a move for someone like Keenan?

I'd want him for the #3 spot. I don't think he can possibly be very $$ right now. He's almost out of the leauge. He certainly isn't going to get a big signing bonus from anyone and his contract would probably be an incentive laden deal.

Yeah, but he would get the 4 year veteran minimum instead of the I'm-just-glad-to-be-in-the-nfl minimum.

what took them so long?

Isn't that what Huard is getting?

He's been in the league 8 years.

**Baby Lee** · 09-27-2004, 04:46 PM

Best guess, this move was prompted by Rex Grossmann being out for the season more than anything. It was OK to waive Huard when nobody's really looking to fill slots, but we don't want Chicago slurping him up.

**dirk digler** · 09-27-2004, 04:50 PM

Smart move to sign Huard back. Alot of posters last year was busting on the Broncos for only keeping 2 Qb's.

HolmeZz · 09-27-2004, 04:52 PM

My look on it is that we ever needed to put Huard on the field we wouldn't be in a spot to win anyway.

Let the Bears have'em.

I think he might be getting more. IIRC the terms of his contract were not formally announced, and that usually means more than the minimum.

But in my previous post, I said that we could sign Booth to be our third stringer, that way we could list him as emergency QB, or even have him fill in at receiver or on special teams if needed. And we could just pay him the minimum, and his agent would not insist on a two year contract.
