Hayes: Eagles opt for Band-Aids in Jeffery & Smith
SOMEBODY'S SO worried about their job security that they're using Band-Aids again.
At the right price, Kenny Britt made sense.
At this price, Torrey Smith is fine.
And then there's Alshon Jeffery.
Reports on Wednesday that the Eagles agreed to terms with big, physical, free-agent receiver Kenny Britt were premature. The Browns reportedly claimed Britt on Thursday for 4 years and (gasp) $32.5 million, more than half of that guaranteed.
Instead, they snagged Smith, 28, who reportedly agreed to 3 years and $15 million. Smith flopped as a $40 million free agent in San Francisco the past two seasons. Of course, it was San Francisco, lately the Cleveland of the West.
