Andre Smith signed a 1 year, $3,250,000 contract with the Bengals
I dont get this.
They are obviously taking a risk on the guy, who is 30, coming off injury, but has performed well in the past. High draft pick, etc.
So like, the O line is a huge weakness of the team - very obvious.
So, lets just say Smith becomes a really really good Guard, which I think is possible - Why isnt there an mutual or team option on the deal for a second year, something like 5-6 million for the option year.
It seems so short sided not to at least hedge that this flier may be a success, then you'd have him back for next year at a bargain. Otherwise, opt out and void the option.
