I know we signed Cherilus to a big deal at RT, and we have Costonzo at LT, but if we could sign Smith to a good deal, might we slide Cherilus to guard, a big position of need for us?  Talent is talent, and a Cherilus/Smith right side would do wonders for the running game, and for Luck's time in the pocket and pass/run options.

Seems like Smith is unlikely to sign with Cincy - aside from Linkenbach, we have no depth at either tackle position, so if Grigs could somehow pull it off, I think it would hugely benefit the offense.  Thoughts?

We have Cherilus at RT, and on a reasonably hefty contract I might add.

I'd rather carry any cap room we have right now over 'til next off season. We still need to plan ahead towards the deal that Luck is going to get in a few years time.

I don't think so. I think we'll draft a guard instead. It will be cheaper and allow Grigson to get exactly the type of player he wants.

In guess it wouldnt be such a bad thing if we signed him. I'd rather play Smith at guard than Cherilus though, should that happen.

Can Cherilus play guard. . . Would he want to?

 

Do we have the money to sign Smith?  

 

I don't know why he's still on the market, but I don't think we could afford him.

 

 

 

To answer questions...

 

No! and No!

 

No!

 

He wants 9 mil. per yr.. and nobody is going to give it to him.

I agree with what's written below....

 

 

 

 

 

The National Football Post's Dan Pompei reports several personnel men he's spoken with believe free agent RT Andre Smith is "highly overrated."

This explains Smith's lack of a market nearly a month into free agency. Smith, 26, made 16 starts for the first time in his career last year, and finally lived up to his draft status as a mauling run blocker and fine pass protector. However, Smith missed 21 games in his first three seasons while battling weight concerns. Teams are scared he'll revert to his old ways after a hefty payday.
