So, What are the Chances of Adding FS Dwight Smith? - Page 2

**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.

A couple more clips.

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.

Smoot, Winfield, Sharper and Smith would be a heck of a defensive backfield.

Even without him they have Tank Williams who can be more than adequate if he's not hurt. Dustin Fox would be another ideal canidate for the spot as he played some corner at Ohio State and fits in that coverage scheme.

Back to the subject at hand, I can't imagine with possible extensions of current players and rookie signings looming that the Chiefs can find the room to get Smith under contract.

Yup. That would be a heck of a defensive backfield.

The only way for this to happen is if Carl runs off with Lamar's credit card.

And I'm one of those who think he could possibly play FS, al la John Lynch....especially with Law and Surtain in front of him.

I could see Carl closing a deal for Michael Bennett before getting Smith.

ImAWalkingCorpse · 07-24-2006, 06:56 AM

I dont think he will come back to Tampa, when he left it was not on the best of terms. Minnesota wouldn't be a bad fit for him considering Tomlin is there or Detroit with Marinelli.

Yeah, or even a WR.

BucEyedPea · 07-24-2006, 07:30 AM

Wow! Dwight Smith now 'ey, boys!

I'd have to say your D would do well with a versatile player like Smith.

I hated to see him go, but if we could get him back it'd be nice.

StcChief · 07-24-2006, 07:43 AM

Since Hali/Croyle are not signed, highly doubt money is
there.

**Iowanian** · 07-24-2006, 08:29 AM

With the signing of Law, I think it would be more probable to see someone like Walls or Hodge tried at FS than signing Smith(who didn't choose the Chiefs last year).
