This would be pretty huge if he ends up selling his 10% stake in the Redskins and buys the Rams. Smith is, of course, the FedEx Guy whose three biggest contributions arguably are naming the stadium, and bringing Pepper Rodgers and Steve Spurrier here. But of the three main owners (the others being Snyder and Dwight Schar) he's the most financially sound at the moment; and he carries the most clout in the advertising/sponsorship world.

I don't think from an input standpoint, his loss would be as great as losing Dwight Schar as an owner (who I hear is pretty grounded and had as much a role as his good friend Joe Gibbs in helping settle down some of Snyder's impetuous tendencies), but still it would be interesting to see who grabs that 10% ownership should it be available.
