at least 24M. If Miami wants him back they may have to throw the transition tag on him. I believe the number on that is 8.9. I'd just assume to let him leave.

The only number I'd give Smith is for a travel agent to help book his flight out of town.

If Smith wants $24 million guaranteed, which team is willing to pay him slightly less than that? I can't imagine this number coming out now without his agent having heard from another team that they would pay him near that.
In which case, let them take on that albatross.RevRick likes this. -
I'm not selfish, I'll take 18 million guaranteed and live in poverty for the sake of my teammates.

When your agent chooses to go public with this information again and again, you earn yourself the dishonor of the transition tag.

Does the amount he signs for affect the draft pick value that Miami would receive if he leaves? If so then I hope there is some team stupid enough to offer him $10M per year ... sounds like a 2nd round pick to me :lol:

Is he high?

Maybe the Colts want him? They could have the best CB tandem in football!

I'm gonna be in the extreme minority here but I wouldn't have a problem giving Smith $24 million guaranteed b/c he owns such a competitive nature that I don't think he could live with himself knowing he's not giving a 100% and it costs an opportunity to prove to himself he's one of the best in the game. Dating back to Utah he's always had that confident mentality & swagger that he can be a star, and IMO that's why he worked so hard last offseason, not b/c he wanted a paycheck but b/c he realized he can't be as good as he wants to be w/o busting his arse for it. Some guys use getting paid as a reason to slack off; others use it as motivation to work even harder to prove to the organization and themselves that they're worth it. Sean seems like the kind of guy who will work harder for it, and he seems like the type of player who will treat the contract as a form or respect & acknowledgement, and in return give his undivided loyalty. I think he's kinda like Wake in that regard.
Plus he's an emotional player who seems like he's taken on this Miami defense as a part of his identity. We've all seen it in him how he plays, on the sidelines, and during Hard Knocks. He pretty much took it upon himself to assume a leadership role, and he obviously gets vocal and passionate about it, about the team, and about winning, so I don't see him throwing it all away b/c of a nice guaranteed amount. He simply doesn't strike me as the type to enjoy being a slacker more than working hard to become the best. Just my opinion. -
Hopefully we draft a CB who isnt a pantywaste that is terrified of tackling.
Say what you will about Vontae, but he is a great tackler.finyank13 likes this. -
I don't think he didn't "not play better" b/c of lack of trying. He was on an island much of the year to free up Jones, so the responsibility level was high IMO. I don't believe that happens if Coyle doesn't trust Smith. I thought he performed admirably when factoring that in. -
Sean Smith is a bum, plain and simple.
As the saying goes....let the door hit ya, where the good Lord split ya. -
I want a Superbowl Trophy.
When I get what I want, you get what you want, Sean.
