The two parts of Smith being rejected as reported was Mike McCarthy didn't care for Smith's attitude and he was kind of a freelancing player. If Mike McCarthy didn't care for Smith cocky attitude, imagine his dismay in dealing with the holier than thou Jones. The freelancing stuff.. maybe, but they play different positions, CB in man up is almost all freelance.. zone not at all..
Either way.. Smith attitude was reportedly a problem.. I think my comparison in that nature is not off base.

Who reported Smith had an attitude problem and/or that Mike didn't like his attitude? And if that's true, why did they put a claim in on him a few weeks ago? From what I've read and heard about Smith, it was his groin injury that was nagging him and his propensity to freelance that cost him his job with the Packers.
Jones is more of a problem based on his history than Smith. I don't question that. But putting them on the same level is absurd. When was Smith arrested? When was Smith suspended for a year and then some? When did Smith attempt a professional wrestling career? I could go on, but the point is made. I'll add this too, I'd rather Smith than Jones. Smith is taken, Jones, is not and most likely for very good reasons.
Even so, I'd rather Adam Jones returning punts than Tramon or Jordy. That's not going to change. Unless, Trevor or Josh prove to be better than Tramon at covering receivers.
