Smith Not Happy: DE Will Smith has yet to report to the team's offseason conditioning program because he wants a new contract, and his agent Joel Segal isn't unfamiliar to the Saints. He negotiated deals for Reggie Bush, He'll be negotiating new deals for Smith and WR Marques Colston soon. The two sides are in talks, and the deal is expected to be boxed in by the six-year, $63 million contract signed by teammate Charles Grant and the six year, $74 million deal just signed by Vikings DE Jared Allen.

Smith, 26, was the consummate teammate last year, playing through the season despite his teammate Charles Grant having just signed his new contract. Smith earned only $695,000 in 2007, part of his rookie contract signed in 2004. Smith outplayed Grant over the past two seasons and is the team's best defensive player. He has earned more than $20 million in his contract so far and is scheduled to make $1.3 million in 2008.

This weekend Smith is hosting a free football camp at his high school, Thomas R. Proctor High School, in Utica, NY.
