Smith is a pending unrestricted free agent, but he apparently could have gotten a long-term deal before his 2014 season even began.
At that time, the Ravens made a five-year, $35 million offer ($19 million guaranteed) to Smith, according to CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora.
“$7M/yr is very fair,” La Canfora said. “Smith started slow; finished strong. … Will be very interested to see how Torrey Smith would do in a limited WR market (once Dez, Demaryius, etc) are franchised.”
In terms of average salary, $7 million a year would put him just outside the top 15 paid receivers in the league today, per the Spotrac.com numbers.

that’s a pretty good offer for a complementary receiver. 19 million guaranteed.
a lot of good receivers are coming in the league and excelling right away.
6 receivers could go in the first round this year.
smith is good but has he gotten significantly better since coming to the ravens. i say he was good when he came at first, still good but not exceptional.
he’s not close to being a number one receiver but is a dangerous deep threat
