There’s a zero percent chance Smith will be back.
But there’s also a zero percent chance NFL GMs have forgotten who Irv Smith, Jr. is. He’s going to get paid. The term will likely be short because of the injury risk—maybe 1 or 2 years—but judging from the tone of many on this board, I think y’all are gonna be surprised at how much money he gets.
Don’t forget, he’s 24 years old. In other words, younger than Kenny Pickett, younger than Ty Chandler. NFL GMs are going to see him like another draft pick.
