That is just 100% professional behaviour. This guy is an anti prima donna and that should be rewarded!<br /><br />Who wouldn't want Steve Smith on their team. The guy is a technician and a class act. Too many times we get sucked in to guys who are all about them and the contract. This is a guy I can tell my kids to pay attention too.<br /><br />Chris B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-17160658770719246412010-01-25T16:21:50.227-05:002010-01-25T16:21:50.227-05:00Thanks for the info Ernie.

Not high stepping backward into the endzone after smoking a safety who could barely make a pop warner squad. I really enjoyed watching him this year (he and Eli were the few bright spots of the season) and hope to keep watching him in a Giants uniform for many years to come!CE718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-12913619263189171442010-01-25T15:12:03.791-05:002010-01-25T15:12:03.791-05:00Is he strong influence on any of the other WRs, is...Is he strong influence on any of the other WRs, is he close with Barden and Manningham?

If there's no CBA agreement (we'll know by March 1) the uncapped year minimum for unrestricted free agency goes to six years from its current four. Smith would be a restricted free agent. It might be cheaper to tender him a maximum offer for a year that will probably include a work stoppage while trying to work out a longer agreement. Meanwhile, you've got him for 2010 at $550,000.Ernie Palladinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158244440623733145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-89645646785363551932010-01-25T15:01:01.851-05:002010-01-25T15:01:01.851-05:00He is gonna have to work harder than any other rec...He is gonna have to work harder than any other reciever if he wants to be a top three receiver. haha ahahha ahahWayno2424http://wayne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-70264987337841063342010-01-25T15:00:29.630-05:002010-01-25T15:00:29.630-05:00I wish all the giants players were as classy as st...I wish all the giants players were as classy as steve smith.adam mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798924087981614004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-49618068038389565072010-01-25T14:59:40.674-05:002010-01-25T14:59:40.674-05:00Good piece on Smith.

If so, when do we know whether it will be an uncapped year or not?CE718noreply@blogger.com
