I love Smith and he's trending towards being a hall of famer. With that said he's been out there during the past two seasons of historically bad football. Guys like Smith Kendricks and maybe even Hunter are great all time players but does it really make sense to pay them premium prices for those kinds of results. We could have basically swapped out our high price defenders with rookies the past two seasons and ended up with the same results

And its even worse football when hes not out there. Harrison Smith is a hall of famer. He made Sendajo, Ant Harris, and now Cam Bynum serviceable when he is out there with him. Those mistakes you saw Sunday with the Williams TD and even the one on Dantzler dont happen with Harry out there. I agree these guys are aging and at sometime you have to let go, but if your still trying to win I want Harry on my team still. Kendricks I cant say the same. No safety isnt a big asset to the team, but when you dont have any good ones it is a big liability.

for this year I agree but going forward it really doesn't make much sense. The other major factor is how our d coordinator uses safeties. If we continue to play the 2 high safety looks then we don't need a high priced safety who has made a career moving all over the place

I get what you are trying to say, and Smith is still contributing this year. Is he contributing enough to make it worth the cost of keeping him around though? If the defense is historically bad even with him out there, I would argue it isn't.
