Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli suggests, being released by the Blue Bombers is a major setback for Smith, who is eligible for reinstatement to the NFL in early October, provided he meets all of the league's stipulations. It is believed Smith remained in the NFL drug program, even after signing with Winnipeg, so that he would have a chance at some point to play in the league again.
