We already have two good CB's in Walt Harris and Shawn Springs.
Walt Harris (cheap- only $955K in 2005) is finally healthy and will have this offseason to improve as opposed to last offseason where he had knee surgery and was just trying to get back to walking much less playing football. When healthy he is a proven good Cb in the NFL and will be better this coming year as oppsoed to last season.
Plus we have these two impressive rookie corners in Garnell Wilds and Rufus Brown.
Add to that a player or two we draft or sign as free agent, we should be fine.
We should not commit to paying Smoot $7m+ next year, he is not a shut down corner, we should not pay him like one.
I hate the fact we will already be be paying in 2005 (if they do not agree to salary redutions) Samules $9.6M, Lavar Arrington $6M, Renaldo Wynn $4M and Mark Brunnell $3.4M next year. These four guys are not worth are not worth $23m. The Redskins could cut these over paid guys and still be just as good as they are now. We played almost the entire season with out Lavar and our defense was still #2 in the NFL. NOw you want to add $7M+ for Smoot? That is crazy, he is not that good.
