Nice job gentlemen. Looks good for both.
Why the need/desire to give up Smith?

Going into this off-season this would be my last year to compete for the Championship with the team as is with Steve Smith heading into his final years contract. No way I could afford LT, Steve Smith, and Donald Driver once Smith hits FA.
I have essentially the same team as last year minus LT. Tomlinson had a record breaking year last year AND I still didn't win the league. Once I lost him in RFA due to the decline on Shuan Alexander.... my change of focus shifted to the future. I had hoped trading for Kevin Jones would help but I forgot about his injury, then the news about Shuan Alexander possibly having a broken foot got me thinking about moving Smith to get whatever I could for him instead of losing him to RFA.
I put him on the block content on keeping him as I still have a possibly decent team (at the time... Delhomme, Alexander, Jones, Smith, Driver, and McMicheal), but willing to let him go if I got an offer that I liked.
