I hope there is a case where Smith's condition affords us a discount, but being there has been absolutely no word about it, that's a pipe dream.
Thanks dudes. Get the money.

Smith at a 'discount' is still $18 million.
There's just not a happy ending to be found here, IMO.
I think we just have to continue to churn and burn on the IOL. We have an anchor tenant there now and a guy who re-set the salary market (by a lot) for the position. And hell, we didn't even get him signed that LONG in so doing. We paid a ton for Creed.
Earn your money, bucko. If you need 2 All-Pro caliber OGs alongside you to perform, you're a problem.
I don't think that's the case.
I think you have to presume that job is Nourzad's to lose, especially now that Morris appears to be as close to a long-term option at LT as we have. Now if we reallocate the money we could spend on Smith to a strong veteran LT, that would free Morris up to move inside where I think he'd be a real asset.
But none of 'em asked me...
