Rumor: Harrison Smith facing pay cut for 2nd straight year

[John813]

Steve’s drafting up a holistic trade offer for him.

He hasn't seen a pay cut until he sees Stevie's "honest offer".

He was drafted by Zim.......from the look of his contract, he will probably get cut. ( cap hit vs small dead cap) . He is 35 but had one of his best career years last season.

Despite his age, I wouldn't mind him instead of Hooker, but it would cost us money to cut Hooker since we just gave him a new deal last year, so it's not worth the upgrade. Safety isn't our weakness now.

2 guys that are old vets I would bring in here on the cheap are Von Miller and Wagner. Both 1 year deals. They help us immediately. The leadership would be immense on and off the field. I dont think we would see any business decisions on game days. Both fill needs. Then I would swing for the fences for a stud DT via trade or free agent. If we do that and are successful, we can fill in the gaps in the draft. On the offensive side, go get Henry or James Connor.

Hmm

Von Miller isn’t a free agent and will make 17m this year.

Wagner would be great, and is a free agent, but if the Seahawks want him, he’d much prefer finishing his career there rather than go back on the road.

I have enough safeties. I’m trying to find linebackers.

For years we couldn’t even luck into a safety and now we have like 5-6 of them. No thanks

Yeah but those are LBs

He may throw in discounted parking at The Star if Zimmer really wants him.


But he still has to pay for his own meals at the cafeteria.

Can he play linebacker? LOL ok ok

He did actually start out at linebacker in college under Charlie Weis at Notre Dame then they got smart and moved him to Safety.

Smith has a crazy cap number they have to cut his salary. Don't really see a fit in Dallas, but you never know "All In" Jerry is lurking.

35 ??

Don’t see it. Logjam at safety

Hooker and Wilson are you starters

Thomas, Izzy and Bell at backup.

I am all for it as I am a huge fan of his.

Bell will start, IMHO
