Sign Trumaine Johnson instead of Smith.
If you've got the money, then pay Howard. I'm not saying Smith isn't a good starting CB. It's just right now there are so many other players on defense who need contracts as well, and I'd rather have those guys. |

Probably Howard. Pass rush helps secondary more than the other way around.

Good grief. If some team offers Smith a $52 million dollar deal? He's gone.
Is that team Tennessee or Jacksonville or Washington DC or New Orleans? That's a bad contract. |

If we're keeping Sutton, and playing man-to-man coverage, Smith is the more valuable of the two. It would be nice if lightning struck twice, and another Peters-caliber CB fell into our laps in the draft, but I just don't see that happening.
Gaines isn't a guy that can step in and fill that role effectively. |

I'd take Howard in that case.

9 million for Howard is the FA steal of the century if you get him do that before he hits the market.
I'm willing to bet Dorsey offered that to him in the middle of the season and he turned it down. |

Did the Chiefs in 2013 say, "We need a new CB. Go find the best guy on the market"? No, they did not. They said, "Let's get Sean Smith."
We found a free agent who was ascending, fairly close to being a good player, and was the type of CB that Sutton was looking for in his defense. There's no reason why we can't do the same thing here with Trumaine Johnson. |

Tough choice, but I went with Howard.

Sean Smith will be 29 in July.
A team looking to sign him will not only take into consideration his age (and Revise is certainly a driver) but his status with the league and his suspensions. If a team offers him more than 3 years, $21 million, it's because they believe they're "a cornerback away". Otherwise, some team is going to get burned by giving him a Byron Maxwell-esque deal. |

It's not a popular opinion, but I tend to think Smith is overrated and I would pay Howard instead 10 times out of 10.
