At 31, I just don't see it. Massive gamble, lot of teams aren't going to take their call seriously.
So IF they do retain Smith, all I can say is it probably says they still like Kingsley at LT.

To your point -- yeah, it's REALLY hard to fix LT drafting at the back of every round.
But you know what isn't hard to fix? RG. And C. We already overpaid (IMO) to address the easiest position on the OL to address. Meanwhile the Eagles lost a guy who's considered possibly the best C of all time, replaced him with a 2nd rounder and won a SB when said replacement wasn't a notable drop-off for them.
They won't be so lucky when Lane Johnson retires.
And even if you like Kingsley at LT -- y'know what, RT is a nice little home as well and there's a decent chance that it's open for business in 2026 even if you lock in the LT with a veteran long-term.
Bringing back Smith makes so little sense to me that I just refuse to believe this is legit.
