Satisfied Smith

Good to see LJ Smith sign the one year franchise tag tender. Sometimes disgruntled players – already bound to their team’s by the tag – avoid signing the contract so that they don’t have to participate in mini camps or parts of training camp as either a form of protest or just to take it easy. Of course, Smith has to be somewhat content to collect his $4 million salary this year considering that it will exceed all of the money he has made to date from the Eagles on his first contract – if the USA today salary database is to be believed. To say nothing of getting an opportunity to showcase his skills while healthy and enter free agency next year.
