Ok, I realize this has to be a non-guaranteed, training camp invite, similar to Chris Copeland, though Copeland is a better bet to make the team. Are we thinking this is a nice gesture or what? Wasn't particularly impressed with Smith in Vegas, imagine we have to be able to do better than this for the 15th roster spot, I'd get a specialist or leave it open as mentioned before for D league call ups in the event of a mid season injury. I won't read too much into this until training camp is ending and we see a guaranteed roster, but can't sit here and say this makes alot of sense to me. Again, if he's just being given a shot to battle in camp and earn a 15th spot I have no problem, but if we think we're going to just give him that spot, idk don't wanna make a big deal about a roster spot that shouldn't be significant, but I feel we could get better insurance options than him. Is important though to find someone for the last roster spots that can be content working hard and not playing in real game time, you plug a solid veteran into those roles they often get sour... thoughts?
