I've always been a big fan of Jimmy Smith. He has been a rock solid addition to fantasy squads for several years. I'm sad to see him go. One less low-risk WR come fantasy draft day.

A solid, consistent receiver throughout his career.   If I'm not mistaken, I think this marks the final chapter for the last original Jaguar.

Rumors are swirling that Smith failed another drug test, which would have led to a 1 year suspension. I'm skeptical of this move. Smith is their only proven WR, and his cap number is pretty reasonable. The move just seems strange.

     WOW, this to me is surprising.  I thought Jimmy had at least one to two seasons left in him.  Well he'll definately be getting inducted into Alltel Stadium's Ring of Honor real soon.

Now this makes sense. Good call.

Is this similar to Ricky's retirement? I'm going to check out some Jaguars boards to find out if the fans are pissed at Smith or not.

EDIT: Nope. They are not pissed at him. I looked at 3 different boards, and not one person had anything bad to say about him. They also somehow think that this won't hurt them either.

Geez .... you guys are a suspicious bunch.  Got a little guilt you are hiding fellas?  Wink You guys probably think Barry Sanders retired because they caught him on the juice!!!   Grin


Just kidding about all that but it is funny how no one takes anyone else at face value any more.  A sad state of affairs I guess.

Actually, I was just wondering if the Jaguars fans are pissed at Smith like we were at Ricky. Apparently, they are not.

I get your point CF, but Jimmy did wait until a pretty late time to retire and he has had drug issues. I have heard that Del Rio asked him to think about retirement for a bit before announcing (he apparently approached them about it much earlier in the year).

It wouldn't surprise me one iota if Smith failed a drug test.  It's sort of suspicious when players just reture when they have good years left...especially at this time of year.  ...and he's had failed tests before.  It's not that big of a leap.

Wasn't coke his drug of choice?  One time I saw him trying to sniff up the goalline.

I'm sorry, I'm just picturing a post-TD celebration where the player gets on the ground and pretends to snort coke off the goalline.  I wonder if that would warrent an NFL fine.

Why yes, yes it would... Technically he would be using "props" in his celebration, and that is fine-worthy under the new celebration rules.

If a pretend ass moon gets a fine, then pretending to snort coke should.
