I would have, Smoot had a $10mil signing bonus on the table before the Cole's situation ever came to light, $10mil to stay in a place you love it's a no brainer, but if it's only about the money then he can go play in minnesota, but the NFL is a tough place to play when your stuck in the wrong situation, maybe it will be good for him who know's, I just don't see him being embraced by the fan's in Minn. as he was in DC, and I agree with management whole heartedly not to offer him that kind of money because IMO he's not worth it.
