The Facts: Smith confirmed that he is down to either Detroit or Atlanta, the two places he has visited in free agency. Smith said he was looking forward to a fresh start.

Diehards Line:According to Daily News staffer Les Bowen, common sense would indicate Atlanta has the inside track (great young quarterback, improving team, not located in Detroit), though Smith wouldn't say so. He did tell Bowen he'll have a new team soon, and he didn't seem to discourage speculation that it would be the Falcons.
