Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The last time he was entering a lame-duck year, Smith received a four-year extension. This time, there were questions as to whether he had done enough to get another new deal. In the end, the Bears found a compromise, giving Smith security but only half the security he received four years ago. Bottom line? PFT's Michael David Smith notes that as a practical matter, the two-year extension means that, if the Bears collapse in 2011, the buyout will consist only of two years’ pay. If the collapse comes in 2012, the Bears will owe him only one more season of salary if they move on.
