Smith Figures Inflated?
Initial reports on the contract extension for Will Smith valued the contract at 6 years and $70 million. ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that the true value of the deal is 7 years at $61.4 million. That deal seems pretty comparable to the 7-year $63 million contract given to Charles Grant last offseason.
The contract given to Grant had $20 million worth in guarantees. PFT claims that Will Smith’s contract has $25 million worth in guarantees. Thats a ton of money invested into the defensive end position which makes you wonder how close Charles Grant is from having his job in jeopardy. Keep in mind there have been positive reports out of the minicamps and OTA’s about DE Bobby McCray which might mean the Saints have a quality possible replacement on the roster for the future. There is also that looming involuntary manslaughter fiasco as well.
