Chance to re-sign:
While the free-agent landscape can completely change overnight, there are currently quite a few notable cornerbacks set to hit the market this offseason. That’s going to make it tougher for Smith to find a good contract, which actually works in Baltimore’s favor if they want to retain him.
The Ravens have a pretty stocked secondary but with Brandon Carr potentially a salary cap casualty and Tavon Young’s injury history, Baltimore could always use more capable depth.
The Ravens have shown they won’t overpay for a player, even a beloved one like Terrell Suggs last offseason. If another team thinks Smith can be a starter and stay healthy, it’ll likely be a better role and more money than what Baltimore will offer. So the key for Smith is just how much he wants to finish his career with only one team.
I’d give it a 40% chance Smith re-signs with the Ravens this offseason.
