i think a lot depends on his asking price. he went from having a great 2009 pro bowl season to missing half of 2010 while nicks and manningham stepped up and showed they can be a solid 1-2. i think the one thing working in smith's favor is the lack of depth at WR. after nicks and manningham there is ramses barden (whos done nothing in a giants uniform so far and is coming back from a pretty bad injury) derrick hagan (looked a hell of a lot better towards the end of the season, basically played the role of steve smith while he was out, but spent his entire giants career on special teams until all the injuries) domenick hixon (solid returner but never really anything more then a deep threat at WR) then guys like calhoun and clayton who most likely wont figure into the WR rotation.
i would like to see smith back, but only if the price is right. im more then happy to have nicks and manningham as the 1-2 combo but the drop off after that worries me.
I doubt Smith will be able to get a long-term deal coming off that injury. A one-year, two-year deal with a reasonable base salary/bonus and incentives is warranted IMO.
I'm confident he'll be back.
As far as Plax goes....fans love the guy but I'm hesitant after he's spent two years in the can. Granted, it's the same offense but is he still in shape? I wouldn't mind them signing him to an incentives contract too and seeing how it ends up.
I'm a huge Giants fan and a big supporter pf Eli but the Int's were definitley a backbreaker for us this year. Granted half of those were off tipped balls but he has to learn that taking a sack and punting can be good rather then forcing some of the bonehead throws he made this year.

The Giants’ pass rush overwhelmed Tom Brady in Super Bowl XLII. They came at him from every angle and attacked him from the opening series right up until the last. It was a clinic, really, on…
Spags says the defensive gameplan in the week 17 game against New England was scaled back b/c they didn't want to show everything before the Tampa WC game.
Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports during an interview with WQAM radio in Miami Antrelle Rolle and Kenny Phillips discussed how much they would like playing for a coach like Rex Ryan.
"People want to talk about Rex Ryan and this, that and the other, that team is going to war for him," Rolle said. "They would die for him."
The Giants' other starting safety, Kenny Phillips, also joined in the interview and clearly is intrigued by Ryan's coaching style.
"I would love to play for a guy like Rex," Phillips said . "He goes to bat for his players. He'll take the blame, he allows you to be you. He's not asking you to hide. If you're a guy who likes to talk, go out and talk, as long as you back it up. His guys are playing for him and I'd love to be a part of that."
When asked about Giants coach tom Coughlin, Rolle separates Coughlin the man from Coughlin the coach. The man, he enjoys. "On a personal level he's one of the best guys you could be around," Rolle said. "Very caring. Honest guy."
As a coach?
"Honestly, that's where the problem comes with me, as a coach. When you're talking about the coaching side of things, do I feel like things are a little too uptight? Yeah, I do. If he just loosened up just a little bit, run the ship the way you want to run it, run the program the way you want to run it but let us have a little fun, because at the end of the day that's what it's all about.
"He has to understand we have a great team, we don't have guys with discipline problems. We're going to pretty much handle our own outside of football. When it comes to football we're going to take care of our business on the field. Just let us have a little fun a little bit, man. I like the coach, I understand what he's trying to do but he has to understand it's 2011, man, things have changed."
