The decision on Smith is a classic case of overpaying because you can't replace the guy. He'll never be a double digit sacker, but he makes a lot of tackles and plays hard every down. He's apparently very good at maintaining his assignment which is a big deal on a defense full of freelancers. He's also a good guy with no hint of outside problems.

I hope they can get a long term deal done so the cap hit is lower, but even with his limitations Smith is the best player the Bengals could get for their RE.
