The player drafted in the number 2 spot the next year (Suh) is due over $35m over the next two years, do you feel comfortable giving a RB $17.5m per year? And if so who are you cutting off the current team?
As crazy as it sounds Smith being a bust may actually have helped us long term.
Wasn't factoring in salary at all. Just a player for player swap.
And yes, Smith's failures helped contribute to our struggles in following years which put us in a position to take advantage of the RGIII trade. Everything is a butterfly effect for sure, but I was trying to keep the exercise as straightforward and simplistic as possible.
As far as Shady McCoy goes, given his production year in and year out in the NFL, I do believe his work merits a salary of that type -- unconventional as it may be at the position.
If I have to "cut" one player from the roster, why not Benny Cunningham? I really like him a lot but if the Rams have Shady McCoy then he's obsolete. Hell we can keep Stacy and Mason and have the deepest stable of RBs in the league, which would be fantastic considering our offensive ethos.
