Despite Seeking a New Deal; Smith Shows Up at OTA

Posted by Matt Loede on June 3rd, 2008 filed in News

DE Will Smith wants a new deal, but that didn’t stop him from being at the teams OTA on Tuesday.  Smith didn’t do much at the practice, that due to a sore toe, but being there is a good sign for a player that has been vocal about wanting a lot more money in a new deal.  Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and Smith’s agent Joel Segal “are working through the contract and trying to sort things out,” coach Sean Payton said.  Smith was a Pro Bowl selection in 2006, but fell off the mark last season and had seven sacks.  He has one-year left on his deal that will get him about $1.8 million with incentives.
