The extension calls for Smith to earn up to $70 million over six years, with $26 million in guaranteed money. The deal places him third on the list of highest-paid ends behind Jared Allen and Dwight Freeney, but Smith's deal isn't far behind either of those two. It also trumps the seven-year, $63 million deal with $20 million that linemate Charles Grant got a summer ago. Smith was on his way to being a premiere pass-rusher before fattening up and playing poorly last year. So was it worth it?

Let's see. He has conditioning and motivation issues. Is that really the kind of guy you want to throw a bunch of guaranteed money at?

[TarSaint76]

I think that hes is that kind of guy. He has shown that he's a great player, if he can get his act together after last season.

[Bette]

No, its like he's being reward for playing poorly last season.
