Funny, you complain about me and Rickster talking about the Ty Law signing but you post a meaningless message bashing the guy that posted the Smith signing just because he didnt include his ex-team and position? Maybe, you should go to the Madden board because quite simply, it seems like you would fit in perfectly there.
And im going to talk about the Law and Smith signings because I can and want to. If you dont like it, then dont visit this topic.
Chiefs signing Law is actually a one year deal with the option for them picking up the second year. It's not a long term deal like some may think. Law's deal with KC is basically the same thing as what he signed with the NYJ a year ago. For 2006, Law and Surtain should definitely be a top CB combination and the secondary overall should be very good.
As for Dwight Smith, he signed with the Vikings and has pretty much the same deal as what he would have if he was still in New Orleans. He signed with NO a year ago after leaving TB as an UFA. NO released him just days ago and was rumored to go back to TB but the Vikings offered more money. Should have been the SB MVP back in 2002 when the Buccaneers beat the Raiders in SB XXXVII. Smith has played FS the last few years but will most likely be moved back to CB with the Vikings. Smith played CB in TB early in his career before being moved to FS.
All the Vikings need now is a franchise QB and RB.
