LOL

I guess our former ST coach really sold him to Gruden.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Just another hole to fill.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Too bad. Good Football player.

I wonder if we'll go without a FB this year.

 

[Whyjerry]

Nice ST player and hard worker. Good hands too. Makes perfect sense to let him go. I suspect FB is high on the list for the draft.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He would’ve took a hometown discount to stay too.

As he should have...not a big loss or any real reason to complain but I’m surprised we didn’t retain Smith. Good guy to have on your team

We had the option to tender him.

 

[cowboyblue22]

he went to a team where he has a really good chance of not sitting home for the playoffs

They’re going to take Wilber, too. ST experience.

Sucks to lose Smith though.

He did not want to play for free. That is what we apparently consider "reasonable" these days.

Good for him. Guy had no chance as an NFL LB. Made himself a solid starting FB and valuable STs player. Now he's secured himself a decent contract and landed with a coach that will use him quite a bit.

I am more worried about them going after Ladouceur. They let Jon Condo go.

Now they might dump Jamize Olawale for him.

****. You’re right.

Smith was an OK fullback, essentially a special-teammer that they found a position for because he wasn't good enough as a linebacker. Hopefully, this will force us to upgrade the position, but probably not.

Of course, I doubt we're going to find anyone that cheap in FA, so it will be up to a late-round pick or UDFA.

 

[jwooten15]

Good for him. His daughter is in California and he's super close to her. Happy for him

 

[dwreck27]

We would not have matched or been in that ball park...

Kid was good but you know who proably was standing on the table asking to bring him to oakland

 

[WillieBeamen]

LOL. What happen to “we wanna pay and keep our own”?

 

[Undefeated]

Dimitri Flowers anyone?
