March 31, 20178 yr comment_256511 Good luck to Smith in the future....I'll always remember that Velcro catch and his spunky attitude...He hasn't mentioned anything 'health wise' for his decision but I'm guessing it had a lot to do with concussion.. A job in finance has it's own headaches but nothing compared to the ones you can suffer in football....Best of luck in the money game Ryan.
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256525 Frankly, I'd rather have Denmark. He's still only 31. Dressler, Adam, Denmark & Stafford....not bad at all.

March 31, 20178 yr comment_256528 Smith is pretty easily replaced by whoever shakes out of Saskatchewan... Mayo, Holley, Edwards, Collins...

March 31, 20178 yr comment_256547 Well we'll also have that bizarre TD grab and great WSF performance to remember him fondly by. Actually after that WSF game, I was excited to see what he could do this year if he reamined healthy. It was by far the first time he was living up to his potential last season. But it is what it is. Good luck Mr. Smith.

March 31, 20178 yr comment_256568 For the record, I know I'm not right, but a lotta talk without any proof behind it, is all I'm saying....

I don't but if you read his statement it's pretty clear that he can't play football anymore for health reasons. I just wish he'd have told the Bombers two months ago as I think he knew then (based on his comments) that he wasn't coming back. Edited March 31, 20178 yr by SpeedFlex27
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256574 His one big highlight as a Bomber (come to think of it Willy's major highlight as well)

That goes a long way towards Cleyon Laing.
March 31, 20178 yr comment_256577 Just now, Floyd said: That goes a long way towards Cleyon Laing. Now we really need receivers. Expect any $$ left over from the Smith deal to go towards that. Not a DL with delusions of grandeur probably only willing to sign a 1 year deal. No thanks.

The Tori Gurley's of the world will always be around.
