INDIANAPOLIS - Justin Smith echoed Marvin Lewis on Friday and said he'll "definitely" give the Bengals a chance to re-sign him if they are in the economic mix when free agency opens in seven days.
Although Smith says he can play in a 3-4, the Bengals may have taken one step closer to doing it without him when they agreed to terms with end Jonathan Fanene on a three-year deal.
Smith thinks he can play outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense, so the scheme apparently won't be a factor when choosing a new team. Smith has heard the same scuttlebutt about Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, San Francisco, and his hometown Rams, but has heard nothing officially.
