And his steadiness opposite of Peters allowed Sutton and Peters to be much more aggressive, IMO. That's why Trumaine was a much better fit for us than Jenkins would be and why I was so disappointed to see Johnson get the tag instead.
At this point I think the Chiefs have to let Smith go - they can't afford to give the guy a deal that pays a 29 yr old corner with fringe athleticism big money for the next 3 years, nor do they have the immediate liquidity to front-load a deal enough to make it more attractive than what he can get on the market.
But I'd have loved to see him back for 1 via the franchise tag.
