Pete Prisco and Tony Boselli was not.  I hadn't even thought about it until Boselli mentioned it.  Their point was that there is 0 risk to signing him because of how you could structure the contract.  If he is suspened forever and never reinstated they don't pay him anything and he doesn't take up a roster spot.  If Fowler is what we think he is, next year we could put a Fowler/Smith combo on the field somehow and likely have one of the best pass rushes in the league.

 

Anyway, this is paraphrasing their argument.   I didn't even know you could sign a suspended player.   The thing that makes this different from Blackmon is there is a good chance Blackmon didn't want to play in the NFL.  I don't think that is the case with Smith.
