Steve Smith

After bringing Steve Smith in early in Free Agency, the Rams allowed him to leave without a contract.  For a few days of practually nothing being mentioned about Smith, the Rams offered him a 1 year contract which he accepted.

Since being signed by the Rams Steve Smith has been working out with them in their off season workouts.  There have been many reports saying that Steve Smith seems to be totally healthy and ready to return to his 2009 form.  The Rams seem to be very excited with how Smith is looking.

Past as Good as The Future?

Before being bitten by the injury bug in 2010 Steve Smith played a large role with the New York Giants.  in 2009 he was their leading receiver with 107 catches for over 1200 yards.  He also went to the Pro Bowl that season.

In 2010 Steve Smith suffered a season ending knee injury, and was cut and picked up by the Philidelphia Eagles in 2011.  Smith Struggled in 2011 though, seeming to be still hampered by the knee injury, and was released again.

The Upside of a Healthy Steve Smith?

While the upside with him seems to be very good if he truely does recover to his 2009 form, if badluck would strike the Rams like it has the past few seasons and Steve Smith does get injured again, the Rams have protected themselves in the fact that they only signed him to a 1 year contract, at a relatively low price.
