I don’t get this. Steve Smith can’t be Jeremy Maclin insurance because he too will probably miss the first 6 weeks of the season. He can’t be an upgrade in the slot because Jason Avant is already very good there. The only thing this signing could possibly be is a move to piss off the Giants. However, it could backfire and piss off DeSean Jackson if he doesn’t get a long term deal. Jackson is set to make 8 times less this season than the 4 million, 2 million guaranteed, the Eagles just gave Smith.
