When Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. was a free agent this past offseason, the New England Patriots wanted to meet with him. That never happened. And now, Smith finally explains why he missed a meeting with New England (via NFL.com).
I think flights were kind of … they had a little bad weather. And then also, this is my first time being a free agent, everything was new to me. I just went in there just not thinking about what was lined up and just taking one trip at a time and going with my gut.
Smith has a valid point. What would he know about being a free agent after spending his first 13 years with the Carolina Panthers?
Following his gut, Smith signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens, who will take on those Patriots this upcoming weekend in New England.
