[Whatever]

As far as how much they would have to pay him, again,  I think it would be minimal.  He may be available in January, but I would rather be sure to get him.  

Smith has a cap hit of $1.6 mill this year, and $1.8 mill in 2018.  He isn't cheap, by any stretch.  The cap savings for cutting him next year is only $600k.  That's way too expensive for an oft injured guy who performed like a #5-6 WR when healthy.
