The Facts: Smith restructured the final two years of his contract with the Buffalo Bills in a move that provides the versatile playmaker a better shot at making the young team's receiver-stocked roster.

Diehards Line: Smith is a seven-year veteran receiver, who also doubles as a kickoff returner and wildcat quarterback specialist. He signed a four-year, $15 million contract with the Bills in free agency in July 2011. Not including bonuses, he was set to make a $2.75 million base salary this season, and $3 million next year. That could have proven pricey for a player who is seeking to find a niche in new coach Doug Marrone's offense, and after the Bills spent the offseason overhauling their group of receivers. Buffalo used second- and third-round draft picks to select Southern California receiver Robert Woods and Texas speedster Marquise Goodwin. The Bills then followed up by signing undrafted rookie free agents Da'Rick Rogers and Brandon Kaufman. Both have a shot to make the roster. Add in second-year player T.J. Graham, and that leaves Smith in a crowd of receivers competing for spots behind returning starter Stevie Johnson. That said, Smith is now the Bills' most experienced receiver, and adds value with his versatility, particularly on special teams.
