Nole9782 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I'd probably be okay with it for the right price. Obviously he was a super-star and would almost certainly consider taking less money to get his first ring (which might influence his legacy and Hall of Fame credentials). And he SEEMS to have matured in his old age, after previously having punched a teammate in the face. Twice (two different teammates)...once even going to jail for it. So, combine that with his age and declining physical ability, and I'm a teeny bit hesitant to bring that guy into the locker room. But, he seems to be more under control these days and he's got some juice left in the tank. So, I'd probably like to have him. You'd have to wonder if he'd want to come, though...when we've already got 3 thousand yard receivers on the team. He seems willing to play in the slot (which you'd have to assume is where he'd play...I don't think I'd start him on the outside over Julio or Roddy). He's better than Harry Douglas, but he's also a little bit older than Harry Douglas, too. I just don't know how much value he brings to the table and how much of a discount he'd be willing to take. We've got about $10 million in cap space and we need a starting safety, a starting tight end, and an offensive tackle for sure (and a little more depth at LB, OL, and NG). So, I don't really see how this would be a great idea, but maybe... Edited March 13, 2014 by Nole9782 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooshman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It is not a position of need as of right now. He is a great player, but we have some young guys that could fill in for 80% of what he does at 20% the cost. Not to mention Julio, Roddy, and HD.

A-TOWNnDOWN Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Phuck a SS89!! I dont care for him at all..He is old and not elite, but was Panties only viable option for so many years!!

DurtyBurdz155 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 For the right price I would take him. Would bring a toughness to this team that we are lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I must say, it's been hilarious to see the raging dumpster fire in CAR from the results of their handling of getting rid of Smith. Lot's of talk of some in the locker room being tired of his act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That would be awesome but I just dont see it.. not a great fit and at his age $$$$ were not paying himI don't think anyone is gonna pay him even good money at this point. If he wants to come here, I'm sure we'll take him at his price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRid Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I've read reports that he is a distraction in the locker room and they want a fresh start with new leaders. I thought he had matured, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownorg Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I just can't get behind this idea..Could be my hate for division rivals, or possibly my dislike for those who assault their own teammates.. but either way. I don't want him here. I'd rather see him drink something Darin Sharper gave him and read about what happened later that evening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronHead34 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 There is a part of me that thinks having another starting caliber WR on the roster would be awesome. But only if used correctly. Can you disguise some packages where you are shifting Roddy and Smith in and out of the slot? What havoc can bunch formations with these guys cause? But then again, its Steve Smith, one of the Falcon's mortal enemies. So, I will need to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They only have about 10.5M left need 4 M for drafteessoo I for one would rather see some funds go to a vet CB presence, maybe a very good TEa vet Free Safety even if they draft a good rookieand everyone knows they need upgrades across the O-line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulitik Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 From what I understand, he's getting $3-5 million from the Panties regardless of where he signs, if he's willing to take a little less money, I'd be down for it. Could you imagine him in the slot between Roddy and Julio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Apparently the guy is a locker room cancer according to this article.http://www.catscratc...traction-poisonI have an immediate family member that had a business dealing with Smith and he described him as "a psychopath who could catch a football". I already knew that given the fact that he sucker punched two teammates, but it was interesting to find out that even off the field the guy is a foaming at the mouth lunatic. No way, no how do I want that guy in a Falcons uniform-even if it meant showing Bumbles Douglas the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
