you aren’t that good Sean. can’t blame him for wanting the most he can get.. but not worth $10 mil a year. I think something around 4 years $25 mil is fair. but he’ll probably get paid elsewhere. ugghhh. see u twice a year when u sign with NE.

Yea, he is out of position alright. He should be the nickel back.

Wha, wha, what!! Look, I get it. It is negotiation time but come on dude. Sean Smith is an ok DB. He is far from Brandon Carr. But I am sure someone will pay him because he is a big corner. And the Seahawks proved having big corners is a positive. Having said that, he does not change direction well. He probably is out of position as he can be a good free safety that covers the tight end.

As a fin fan i would let him walk and try free agency, he is not a gamechanger or shut down corner, i understand he got to get pay, but if im miami i wont give him that much $, and better draft someone on early round n will be same production.

I have never heard of anything so hilarious. Sean Smith is a wuss. He never makes any plays and can’t tackle or play physical at all. He’s a scrawny beanpole who is average at his best. I am a Dolphin fan and I hope we let him walk. Let him be another teams less then mediocre talent.

Notice the amount of Dolphins fans who read this article and said “see ya” in their comment? Tells you all you need to know.

Quick. Someone. Name one memorable Sean Smith moment. Anyone? Bueller? Didn’t think so.

Sean Smiths grow on trees. Any team that pays him what he wants is going to be disappointed and will be looking to dump his salary in 3 years.

Sean u r a good corner but not great aka Revis squeeze as much as u can we can understand that but let be sensible.

Good chance he gets franchised at about $6 million. Dolphins would tag him and let him prove if he’s worth $8-10 million per year.

LOL @69finfan I posted the same thing about his hands

By: simonwelds

simonwelds — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 20:45:22 +0000

Should have traded him instead of Vontae…. He doesn’t play to his size, he cant turn his hips like a true cover guy, has Robert0 Duran hands (Hands of Stone), not mentally tough at all, and always seems to miss time his jumps. Just not a play maker

He could get 80 mill if he would ever catch the ball.

69finfan — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:23:13 +0000

U2′s “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” comes to mind. Sean Smith is barely above an average CB, the only reason people get enamored with him is his size. His hands are harder than Roberto Duran’s, he is not a sure tackler and he’s very inconsistent. Other than that, he’s not too bad. I would like to see him return but certainly for way less than the 8-10 mil he’s looking for. Go Fins

You could have gotten Rodgers from the Niners last year for much less and about the same level of talent.

Both are good in coverage and will drop most everything within two blocks.

He will be a Dolphin after it is realized no one is willing to over pay …. What team do you know is just one mediocre cornerback away from contention .. besides the Dolphins have to many holes to give up a contract like that to a guy who is in no way a game changer especially when you can expect similar play from a lower priced draft pick…He’ll walk before Ireland and Philbin give him that type of paper

By: PeterKingLovesCoqAVin

PeterKingLovesCoqAVin — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:56:04 +0000

Corner is an area of need for Miami. With Marshall coming off an injury, they really can’t afford to let Smith walk if they want to compete. They already need another corner, so letting Smith go puts them in a big hole. Competency check for Ireland there.

maybe he should try to figure out how to beat Tom COughlin…

He never should have been drafted that high.

He’s not an elite player by any stretch of the imagination.

Yet another worthless draft choice by whatever stiff du jour is running the Dolphins…..

I would love for NE to take Sean from us. I cry every time i see a ball sail towards Smith or Caroll cause either its going to be caught on smiths side or caroll will commit pass interference.

Id rather see that money get handed to Reggie to keep him around.

hehateme2 — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:41:50 +0000

Sean can’t play zone or cover smaller receivers period. I wouldn’t pay more than $5M annually and would rather make it $4M. He’s more concerned with twitter than improving his craft it seems.

He’s soft on tackling and has hands of stone. BTW- Belicheat couldn’t hold Shula’s jock.

He’ll get it somewhere. Carr is only a 6-7M$/year player and got 10+. Supply and demand is fun.

thehaljordanproject:

Marshall is at best a nickel back. Watched him very closely last year and he blew coverages on a regular basis. Vontae was talented and a playmaker, but because he didn’t respond to Philbin’s condescending coaching style, he decided to make an example of him. A dumb move in a pass-happy NFL. Outside of Jones, our secondary is a mess without Smith, even though he’s far from elite.

Too inconsistent. Good game, horrible game. No way should he get that much. $6M or let him walk and draft a corner. They have to draft a corner any way to replace Vontae. Double down again like when we drafted Davis and Smith.

What a joke!… Don’t worry Sean, Miami can find plenty of CB’s that drop less footballs than you for much cheaper.

By: dolphins512

dolphins512 — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 17:02:49 +0000

Average to good corner. No way is he worth top corner money. If you are going to pay that much, I would try to find a player with a better track record of consistency through free agency.

Smith, was the most targeted corner in the NFL last year. Look up his numbers and it isn’t very impressive….however, he was the best corner on our team, so I guess that makes him think he is worth it.

There is no way I pay him that kind of money. He had time to prove he is a top corner and hasn’t done it. Make him a fair offer and if someone pays him more, then let him walk.

Brandon Carr was a “solid starter” before he got paid. #2 CB and no Pro Bowls.
