There are not many who can go the distance avoiding injury. Eventually it happens. That’s why depth is so important. Need to have a good backup tackle and interior lineman. Btw he is more than just a nice player. He is a great player. We’re lucky we have him. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really haven't heard much about his injury, if it was serious, I think it would have been addressed by now being Tuesday afternoon. We may know by tomorrow.

BeanDiasucci Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Shouldn't this post be moved to the NFL General forum? Brandon Smith is a LB for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up his game log and you are correct , he hasn't missed nearly as much time as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may know by tomorrow. Great players make A Pro Bowl. He is never going there. If our staff believes Freeland can be good, we can move on from Smith after this season with a manageable $6M cap hit, freeing up $7.6M in cap space, and something like $16M in cap space for 2024. This is a lot of $$ to help add 1-2 high quality free agents in areas of need. Fries has come a long way but I don't think he is good enough as a run blocker to satisfy our needs. Our off-season will be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I don’t believe he went to the locker room and was still standing there in uniform so hopefully it isn’t bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I mean he got hurt. Injuries happen. It stinks but it happens. I don’t get why some seem to want to pick on Smith. He’s one of the Colts better players but he seems to be a few’s favorite target around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediXMan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 When it comes with injuries with Smith who knows. No bad news 48 hours from the game is good news I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid84 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 It's really unfortunate he's had to deal with all these injuries. He's been great when healthy. I think 2024 will be a big year for him. Raimann is eligible for a new contract in 2025 and if he's keeps playing at a top 10 level he's looking at $20+m as an LT. Then we have Raimann, Nelson and Smith with big contracts (20+, 20 and 16.5). I think that may be too much money to sink into the Oline? He's looking as the odd man out. That's all specualtion of course and we have well over a year until that needs to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
