If it ends up playing out like that, it's actually a smart move by Seattle... upgrading at the guard position for free.

It would also be a three way trade, apparently Seattle traded a 7th to Detroit for Robert Johnson, i believe. Detroit traded their 5th for Sim and Seattle would trade Detorits 5th for Miami. Everyone is happy at the end of the day. Things is Miami wants a third for Smiley.

Wouldn't you rather keep Smiley than trade him for a 5th? As insurance/depth.

The Fins have Donald Thomas, Nate Garner & Richie Incognito that can all play Guard. You have Joe Berger who can play C/G and the Fins. The Fins also signed Canadian import Dimitri Tsoumpas.
I like Smiley, but I rather the Fins get something for him than see him on the bench with his huge contract.

I would not be shocked to see the follwing trades: Ronnie for a 2nd rounder, Thigpen for a 3rd or 4th rounder and Smiley for a 5th rounder
I would guess now that Seattle just picked up Rob Sims from the Lions that trading for guard just went down the list of things to do for Seattle and up the list for the Lions.
Obviously Miami wanted a 3rd and Seattle offered a 5th for Smiley, unless this round robin theory plays out with Justin going to the Lions.
All I can say is something better come out of it because just cutting him is ridiculous.

Can't see Miami just cutting Smiley. He's too valuable and besides, the FO would take any offer before cutting him.
Ahhhh reading is fundamental. My bad it was a long long weekend and I killed a lot of white matter with booze.
So as it looks then the original rumor of Justin to Seattle might play out as suggested and if Miami gets Detroits pick (traded to seattle) it would almost be a late fourth since they pick so early in round 5.
That might work out.

I hope the Bengals come calling for Smiley. A little bidding war would be awesome.
Let the fun begin!!
Would be nice....but this guy is not a starter. I'm pretty confident something is still in the works with Seattle and we should find out soon.
hopefully we get something.
