Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I am curious I didn't see one link stateing he was back, I didn't even see the guy who started the thread say he was back, all he did was put up a pic of Smoot and everybody is running with it. I bet he's not back.

I think there is another post about it. I don't have any link unfortunately but all I know is a couple of people here at work (and from a previous job-think it might actually be the same or a similar source as the ES guy) say that it's near complete. But no, it's not official

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

good to have the prince of amaetur porn back

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Happy to hear that. Unfortually if we would have kept smoot two years ago we would have marrieman here right now. Unfortually i think dock played his last game here.

Well apparently theres smoke lets see if theres fire.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Once he passes the physical he'll be official. He's signed, sealed, and not yet delivered.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Wow, this is good news to wake up to. Time to unretire my old jersey

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I say keep springs, Start springs and smoot and let rogers be the nickel and develop.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

OR we move springs to safety and let carlos get beat deep but have someone to cover his ass

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed.
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;282748]He's an upgrade to what we already have at least. A starting duo of Rogers and Smoot still makes me nervous though, I really hope we hang on to Springs.[/QUOTE]



I agree with you, Smoot & Rogers, that's ugly man!!! Chills

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I just wonder if Smoot will play like he did here the 1st time and not like he did in Minny. Lets face it. This could be great or it good be bad. I just hope were not calling for his head in September.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!! This definately makes me happy

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

this just in.....we need to get springs signed at a cheaper cap number and just convert his salary into bonus money. springs is an elite corner in this league....he is hurt alot but he is elite...carlos will never be close to springs capability and silky johnson isnt the answer either....if we go into the season with rodgers and smoot as our starting corners i am throwing up the white flag! talk about an all out bombing raid....just wait to see the outrage after 2 games those two corners play together.......

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

If we have smoot, springs, and rogers heading into the draft do we think about drafting someone like leon hall,, so that in a couple years when springs is gone our secondary becomes a sure thing? It seems like we've simply been trying to plug up holes back there, it'd sure be nice to get some consistancy

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Smoot is not capable of covering opponent's #1 WR. I remember Torry Holt burning him at will during one pre-season game, and he didn't play well in Minnesota....I don't buy into the idea that he will play better under GWilliams' scheme.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed.
 

[quote=Longtimefan;282972]I agree with you, Smoot & Rogers, that's ugly man!!! Chills[/quote]

Still not nearly as ugly as Wright and Rogers.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

i always reffer to that preseason game against holt...he also got blown up by steve smith when smith did the love boat endzone dance hahaha....but i think g wills scheme does help him because he had a good year with the skins but i am still shakey with him if we dont have springs....springs should be the priority not smoot

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

laron landry at number 6

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

That preseason game against the Rams was a load of crap, I can't believe people are still falling for that.

GW said after that game that he left the corners all alone with no help over the top to bring them down a notch and to test them. They weren't flat out burnt.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

if true, great signing. also, TAFKAS must return his name to SmootSmack

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

good signing , welcome back smoot

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I for one, would welcome Smoot back. He played good while with us before. An upgrade over wright. If only springs would re-structure.....

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

will he buy sean taylor's number?

i think sean taylor rebounds big this year

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

If this is true, it will have made my day.

The media will also be pleased.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

This is from NFL.com, gotta love it:

[I]The Redskins were also in serious negotiations with Smoot, who played four seasons with the Redskins before leaving in 2005 to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

"Everything would be put back in place if I did (return)," said Smoot, who had two difficult seasons in Minnesota. "Me leaving here was a big mistake."[/I]

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

dont you miss this:[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvYXeMAIPok]YouTube - Smoot Smack[/url]

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

This deal will get done by tonight. Welcome back Smoot!!!

Fred Smoot Still Does Not Have A Deal/Fisher Here
Like I've been writing, the Skins were the first team to pounce on him. They pushed for him. They got deep into negotiations. They got close to a deal. They have no deal and had no deal and Joe Gibbs said just a few minutes ago, "No deal is imminent with anyone." That includes Smoot, although the sides expect to speak again tonight.

Howard just heard that Smoot is leaving the building and flying home. (Update - Smoot in the lobby now just about to leave) Could he still sign here, sure? But all of the stuff on certain website was way premature if not completely wrong.

Hmm, do you think maybe someone within this building would leak a false rumor that Smoot was already signed to a website owned by the same guy who owns the Redskins? And thenpeople from that website barrage profootballtalk.com with emails until they post the same thing - that Smoot had signed here yesterday afternoon 0 you know, to like scare off other teams or get out the perception that Smoot was already signed here?

Nah, couldn't be. Stuff happens during the recruiting period of free agency and I know it's dog eat dog out there. I ain't hating even if something like that happened, 'cause that's the NFL and any little advantage helps. Just a theory.

Also, Travis Fisher - who has a serious set of dreads - just pulled up to The Park in Jerry Grey's Benz. Like I said, he's a Rosenhaus guy, which is never a bad thing around here.

Sigh

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Man thats just great news!!!! They need to get that deal taken care of quick, before he starts looking at other teams!

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I figured we were kind of jumping the gun here. Smoot probably thought we were desperate for corner help. So desperate that we would throw "boatloads" of cash at him.

Sorry about the pun.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

I hope he can do for us what jerramiah trotter did to us

It could be Smoot's agent saw all the crazy money being thrown around and decided their client might be better off waiting a bit. Just a thought.

Re: CB Fred Smoot Signed (Still Not Official)
 

Wouldn't surprise me, after Clements' deal. But hopefully, the market is not so hot for Smooty, after his aquatic escapades, and, much more to the point, his lackluster years in MN. If he'd been burning it up with the Vikes, no way the boat thing makes any difference.

"Aquatic escapades" should be in the Euphemism Hall of Fame.

We're screwed big time, I'm in panic mode!
