    Preston Smith cut. Adds $13.4 million to salary cap. Nothing against the guy, just $12.4 million too much in salary for what he contributes.

    There should be plenty more coming, I hope they purge alot of dead wood. DL, DB's,
    should be high on the list. Get people that want to play and HIT!

    A weedwhacker is not enough to weed this team out, they need a chainsaw.

    we gave a 5th round pick for preston smith and got a backup for part of a season. And now nothing. People will question this trade.

    Both he and Williams had an early splash and then fizzled. Smith played a solid role in beating the Ravens and Williams had the winning TD vs Washington. Then pretty much nothing from either.

    i wonder if its the player or the scheme. Maybe the opposition figures out how to take guys out of the game. They seemed to do it with TJ..and Highsmith

    It ended up being a fine enough trade. It was a late round pick for a partial year rental. With the injuries sustained at OLB last year, he was needed.

    If the team had won the division and a p/o game I think more fans would be satisfied, a 7th for a rental is just how you explained. The 5th for Williams and the results seem far more a desperation move. It was a position they seemed to give low priority to, then were left in the dregs when everything else fell through and other available WR went at the deadline. That CAP hit was minimal, but the results were as well.
