    Yeah, it'd matter, but it wouldn't stick in my mind the way the blowing up would. It'd still be the talk of the team, and it was still in front of the same group that saw him blow up last year.

    That's alot.

    Mags - you seem to have a thumb on values. What's Smith worth?

    My take - 5 years $8 or 9 million, max. Put some incentives in it - if he gets 1000 yards, or 10 TD's, or 80 catches, or something and actually plays like a stud he gets more.

    Pay him top dollar as a KR, and then add incentives based upon his play as WR. He thinks he is better than a marginal WR, then put up or shut up

    His contract has to be hard, because I don't think there's another #2 WR in the league that is the #1 KR & PR

    Signing bonus unknown in all cases

    Total less signing bonus = 6 year, $9.35 million

    I think that's a damn good comparable.

    Heavily backloaded, if all fails this is OK. I think Smith is a better receiver....

    There's an idea. Seriously. I think that's how I'd structure it, if it were up to me.

    I agree it could motivate him, but what happens when hes got the contract........... We have a history of tieing up a lot of cash for no production and I can't stand it when a player has a break-out year that just "happens" to be during his contract year. Then the following years slacks off cause he's paid. Not saying he would, but he could.

    That's common place in pro sports unfortunately.
