One thing I have seen is that, on a young player's first go around in free agency (Dre Bly, Duane Starks, Dexter Jackson) some team WILL over pay.

If Smoot hits the open market, he will probably get the pay day he is asking. Whether or not he will live up to the payday is the next question.

Smoot and his agent think that his market has been set by the Dre Bly and Champ Bailey contracts...however, I would expect corners' salaries to actually decrease due to the recent rule changes. If there ever was such a thing as a shutdown corner, they will not continue to exist if the rules are enforced.
