Steve Smith
I will always cherish my time in NY and the super bowl victory.. This was obviously not an easy decision for me or something i ever expected but unfortunately the business aspect proved that the eagles wanted me to be part of their organization MUCH more than the Giants did.. A special thanks to my WR buddies, coach Gilbride, all of u amazing fans on here, and the entire giants organization for drafting me.. Time for a new beginning...

Which is totally his right. Armstead made the same mistake.
Yes they did  
TrueBlue'02 : 8/10/2011 7:29 pm : link
and if Smith plays well this year, it is a HUGE black eye for the organization and Reese in particular.

Fuck him  
logan80 : 8/10/2011 7:29 pm : link
Really hope KP tears his fucking head off this year.
Good for him.  
Big Blue '56 : 8/10/2011 7:29 pm : link
I still say he's damaged goods and will not contribute all that much. I'm really glad that he got the guaranteed 2 million..Good for him and I wish him well
Don't blame him at all for taking more money.  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/10/2011 7:29 pm : link
And I have little to no doubt he will be contributing in Philly.
So it was all about the money

Own smith, osi and shockey!

I'm in total shock was hands down my favorite player on the team.
I have a hard time he'll up his value down there this year  
MetsAreBack : 8/10/2011 7:32 pm : link
Vick uses possession receivers how often? Ask guys like Celek how much fun they had last year.

Happy for him that he got himself $2 mm guaranteed, but I just dont see him getting a chance to showcase himself for a big payday next offseason. Not with DJax, McCoy, Maclin, Avant, Celek, R Brown, and a QB that loves to run, all in the mix.
lmao @ Bigblue Buff  
Big Blue Heavy HIttaz 92 : 8/10/2011 7:32 pm : link
Good one.
At least he's basically admitting it was about the money.  
Riggies : 8/10/2011 7:33 pm : link
And not talking about winning, pride, or some other rosy BS.
shocked  
Dankbeerman : 8/10/2011 7:33 pm : link
Hope he recovers from microfracture as well as sehorn did.
Have fun, asshole  
Greg from LI : 8/10/2011 7:33 pm : link
God I hope Phillips catches him on a crossing pattern and they just go ahead and bury him where he falls.

I'm not going to sit here and wish injury on the guy...  
arcarsenal : 8/10/2011 7:35 pm : link
But this is a serious kick in the fucking balls. For a guy who was posting pics of the empty Eagles trophy case not very long ago and saying that he wanted to stay a Giant so badly.. his actions sure spoke louder than words and he's just another guy who has proven that it's never about anything but the money.

I can't believe I'm saying this about a guy who was one of my favorite Giants... but fuck you, Steve.

the Eagles wanted me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$MUCH$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ more than the NYG. It's about the money, and the Giants weren't giving 2 mil guaranteed.
Not only do the Feebles get Smith.....  
Bluenatic : 8/10/2011 7:36 pm : link
.... they get the Giants offensive playbook, too.

Fuck!
No Steve  
Sammo284 : 8/10/2011 7:36 pm : link
You wanted the Eagles.

I won't root for Smith even if he goes to another team next season.

Steve Smith is dead to me.

This stinks to high heaven of a money grab which makes me wonder whether that knee is really ready or if Smith will ever be the same.

Giants must have gotten negative medical reports.
I see another Comp pick for the Giants$$$  
chiefmps : 8/10/2011 7:36 pm : link
The good news is if the Giants keep this up they should be able to get a couple of good comp picks for next draft.

SanFranGiantsFan : 8/10/2011 7:36 pm : link
Will be burning my Smith jersey tonight as I cry in the fetal position.
good luck  
pjcas18 : 8/10/2011 7:37 pm : link
with that one Greg, I hope we have better results than the last time the Eagles ran a crossing pattern near KP.
Why the hell wouldn't it be about the money?  
andrew_nyg : 8/10/2011 7:37 pm : link
If you just rehabbed from an injury like this and you knew your future as a baller was in doubt, you're going to take the MOST guaranteed money you can...if you you don't you're a DUMBASS.

Even with their shopping spree, the Eagles were several more million UNDER the cap than the Giants...so they simply ACED the Giants with the extra room.

+2 to them if it works (+1 for getting him, +1 for taking him off the Giants)
Thank Heavens  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/10/2011 7:37 pm : link
for the comp pic. Wahoo!
Can we finally get rid of the BBI trophy  
Jints in Carolina : 8/10/2011 7:37 pm : link
once and for all.

GMenLTS : 8/10/2011 7:37 pm : link
they wanted you so much more that because they had the room to spend, they ONLY gave you one guaranteed year of service as a fuck you to us.

We were strapped and couldn't afford the guarantee. Go fuck yourself with a 50 ft. rusty ass pole.

He's a good player  
Ash : 8/10/2011 7:38 pm : link
but we made a business decision based on our best medical reports.

It is what it is. Thanks for the memories. I hope KP ***** you up on a crossing pattern.
Doubt  
pjcas18 : 8/10/2011 7:38 pm : link
a 1yr contract factors much into the comp pick computation. I think it's both production and size of deal vs production and size of deal from players you sign.

times pie.
YES!!!
