Smith Signs Extension

DE Will Smith agreed to a monster contract extension with the team today, a six-year $70 million contract with $26 million worth in guarantees. The deal puts him only behind Vikings DE Jared Allen and Colts DE Dwight Freeney for the highest paid at the position.

Great move by the Saints front office by identifying future pieces of the team and trying to lock them up. The Saints have managed the cap well with Mickey Loomis in charge and have yet to lose key players for cap purposes. The team is still in good shape cap-wise and WR Marques Colston and OG Jahri Evans should be next in line for new deals.
