Smoke is a pretty good reason to assume something is on fire, even if you don't see it, He didn't say it publicly, but there is a reason he was traded, same reason The Panthers dealt Thelien, he made it clear to the parties involved that he wasn't going to sign long term here, infact I remember him saying he has yet to decide if he's staying in Carolina or not, he obviously chose not
CMC never actually said the words he wanted out of Carolina, but his hamstrings are coincidently holding up better with the 9ers, and his family made their joy public after he was traded
Just because someone can't legally or politically say something, doesn't make it less true
