Wasn't signed per say. Traded for a dude who didn't make the eagles roster. Honestly probably was a even deal. 

Worley's cap hit is $500K.

Smith's is $5M.

Not even at all.  Not even close.  Unless Rivera/Hurney had been smart enough to cut him.  THEN it would have been even.

5 million isn't anything for a backup WR.

Its way worse than zero for a "backup WR" that can't block and can't catch and "deep threat" that can't beat anyone anymore.

At the time, before acquiring Wright, drafting Moore and the uncertainty of Byrd and Samuel, I can’t say it was that bad. But in hindsight, well he has severely underperformed.

I'd argue that we came out on top because he is at least a positive veteran presence and assisted in shoring up safeties with the Reid signing.

Maybe not worth $5M, but I'd rather have Torrey Smith taking snaps from Samuel/Moore than I would Worley taking snaps from DJax.

When you are trotting out mose Frasier and brentin bersin as starters in a playoff game, Torry Smith for 5 mil is like hitting the lottery

It was a decent idea of a trade by both teams. Both teams traded guys who probably weren't making their rosters anyway. We know Worley didn't work out for the Eagles and we have a pretty good idea that Smith isn't going to work put for us. Now if only our coaching staff would put him in the bench where he belongs. If we want his veteran presence in the locker room for the young WRs, fine. But he shouldn't be taking any snaps away from them on game day.
