yall trying to justify a guy who's going to cost us 5 million with drop issues and worse route running than Ginn who was going to be a free agent anyways commanding 4 million a year at best while making our corner depth even worse.

After your declarations last offseason about Shepard and Johnson just waiting to light up the league, you might want to sit this one out bud.

restructure his deal to make his cap hit less this year.

Guys don't just take pay cuts for the hell of it. And now that we're on board for his salary there's no incentive for him to do so.

Tiger is right about the structure.

Torey will be fine with us...99% of this board despised Worley. To me, this is a good pick up for us as he fits a need. I have a feeling we will pick up a DB now in FA. Maybe JNO?

Yeah that would be nice, but the only problem is he isn’t a FA.

Ginn was a bust in Miami and could not crack the starting lineup in SF.  He sucked in Arizona.  He did well here--while Smith was putting up numbers higher than Ginn.  Over the past 3 years, Smith has been with bad teams with No QBs.  In Philly, he was not a good fit  and had no chemistry.  I expect Smith to average about 700 yards here.  But when he is on the field, the defense changes--even if he is not catching balls.

He’s no Russell Shepard though.
