Fins CB Sean Smith linked to Chiefs

[Skyy God]

Suck it if Q.

It's a story that makes you shake your head, chuckle, and then ask the bartender to turn the TV station over to American Idol because, in comparison, that sh*t seems mature and sensible.

Vontae Davis may or may not have gotten on Twitter yesterday and blurted out that the Kansas City Chiefs are already negotiating a contract with soon-to-be free agent Sean Smith. Smith and Davis are friends from their days in Miami together. Both were drafted by the Dolphins in 2009. Davis was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

Shortly after Davis's Twitter account all but stated that the Chiefs were violating NFL rules regarding tampering, Davis's account sent out the seemingly laughable excuse that it had been hacked. Well, this prompted Sean Smith to address the issue:


Smith then posted this (it's too long to embed the entire tweet):

Ok this is getting out of hand, I've never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins. Yes I talked to vontae and I told him Al Harris (our former coach) got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. That's it! Now why he interpreted that as "talking to KC" idk but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous
OK. That's understandable. So, what about the whole Vontae's Twitter account got hacked thing?


So, you're essentially saying Vontae lied to cover his ass and yours? That's just how I'm reading it.

And if it was just a simple misunderstanding, why did Sean Smith block Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero in Twitter? I mean, all Salguero did was report on what happened. Even Smith's agent seemingly got a little testy with Salguero over the incident. The Miami reporter did what any decent journalist would do in this situation and contacted agent David Canter for a comment. Canter responded with this lovely little gem:

"Don’t believe everything players tell you Armando. Rule number 1 of football journalism."
Really? I had no idea Smith's agent went to journalism school! And is there such a thing as "football journalism?" Does it have its own separate set of rules? Is one of them not believing the words sent out by a verified NFL player's Twitter account?

Look, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Smith is acting so douchey about a reporter actually reporting on something that may or may not be tampering, that kind of suggests that maybe the smoke sent up yesterday might have some fire.

He has to have as much or more potential than Smith.

There's a lot of Routt in Sean Smith.

If you can get him for an easily escapable contract, go right ahead. But if you give him a bunch of money with some heavy cap penalties for cutting him in year 2...well that's probably not going to work out terribly well.

He has a lot of talent and occasional flashes of real skill...but he might suck for good and that's a contingency you need to be prepared for.

You changed your Ava...I'm heartbroken. I'm dead inside.

Bleacher Report is now predicting Milliner to go #1 overall to KC.



1. Kansas City Chiefs—CB Dee Milliner, Alabama

After the Chiefs tagged Branden Albert (h/t NFL Network's Ian Rapoport), it seems clear that Luke Joeckel won't be the pick here.

Milliner secured his status as the draft's top cornerback with a blazing-fast 40 time of 4.37 seconds at the combine, and he'll be a cornerstone player for the Chiefs defense for years to come.

Our Defense would be scary so long as we get some good defensive line play.

Milliner even at #1 overall will still be a cheaper contract than what Sean Smith will get

[RustShack]

Based on those stats, sounds like we are better off with Routt...

[FRCDFED]

I checked the other mocks for updated predictions. That is the only one predicting Milliner. The others are mostly saying Joeckel and McShay is saying Star Littleweenie.

Once more - this time with feeling.

"Bleacher Report" doesn't report anything. Bleacher report is nothing more than a bunch of bloggers making articles built around a logorithm that tells BR what generates the most page views. It is without question, the absolute worst source for any information.

You'll get better cooking advice from a pornhub than you will get sports information from Bleacher Report. It's literally an alphabet soup program designed to get you to click on the article for advertisers sake.

I do not care at all what Bleacher Report is 'reporting' at the moment. It's reverse engineered faux news.

Certainly...at the low low cost of the first overall pick.

I'd say the opportunity cost there outweighs the nominal cap savings, wouldn't you?

This draft is too deep in DBs to take Milliner at 1.1, IMO.

DJ, I am not giving any of these sites credibility for their reporting. Just merely passing on the information to track the opinions as they change with wind direction.

I'm curious which ones would still be on the board by the time we take our pick in the 3rd. I was hoping we could pick up another WR like Woods from USC.
