I love this franchise About to find out the chicken versus egg argument or more appropriately was it the talent of the players or coaching.

I love this franchise That’s a terrifying stat. I don’t hate this deal. 3 years is short enough that it gives us some flexibility and move on if this proves to be a huge mistake. This deal is more about management. Letting Smith walk created additional problems for a position group that needed rebuilt anyway. We have enough holes on the roster as it is.

Yeah plus side is we are NOT committed long term to this mediocre player. He gets to play under a new coaching staff and if he cant turn it around we can let him go after year 2 with not much cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love being able to get out of it 2 years if needed. That's the realistic time period for the new staff to see if they can get him to the next level...

Yikes Ryan jansen has the worst contract out the group but after next year he is gone and off the books as cap relief. Next year we wont be as high. Praying we draft a guard and next year move Marpet to C. Then 2020 go guard again via draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet draft a guard who does not let DL in the backfield literally one second after the qb that says hike. Smith is not benenoch bad of run blocker but the whiffs he has for a top 5 LT is out of this world. Maybe Warhop was the issue we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggybucsfan31 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Pretty clear this was always gonna happen. The LT market in FA is non-existent and the draft class isn't all that great, as mentioned above, no point in letting him go and creating another hole where there are clear holes all over the place.

Lil' Shorty Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I like the deal from the perspective that its a prove-it type of extension. We can get out after two years and it gives Smith what he wants but still saves us a tad on this years cap. If he balls out he can get a big extension when he is 28. If he sucks, we will be in better position to cut bait in 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just as everyone thought. The first two years are guaranteed. Zero guaranteed in year three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably thought the Bucs accidentally slipped in an extra 0 and called his client immediately to have him sign it before the Bucs realized their mistake. This is a woeful signing. Just awful.
