Now, maybe they feel they HAVE to move on from him to pay a LT, and if that's how it goes, so be it.
But whoever is at RG is almost certain to be not as good as Smith. Maybe that all works out in the wash, maybe not.
But folks acting like this is absurdly stupid to even discuss paying the man his money are being dumb.

I'd offer him Cosmi's deal.
Yes, the cap's gone up since Cosmi's deal, but I'd rather have Cosmi than Smith for this team.
And he'll decline it.
And I'd move on with life.
Meanwhile he's going to get a bigger contract than Chris Lindstrom and he's not better at ANYTHING than Lindstrom is. Not even close in pass pro and not as good in the running game.
He's nearer guys like Wyatt Teller and Damien Lewis who are making around $14 million/season than he is Chris Lindstrom or Landon Dickerson. Anything above $15 million/season is an overpay based on what he'd actually bring to the team.
