Steve Smith's son thinks we should make a trade for a certain WR before the deadline

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

I really doubt it happens but would celebrate just as loud as the Olsen winning TD catch against Seattle if we brought him back

Not every statement made by coaches and players is posturing.

Sometimes they just mean what they say.

True dat....but more are than are not soooooooooooooo(speculate)

All signs say this is one of those that's not.

[SIGCHI222]

I feel vindicated to the nth degree.

 

Please keep on talking, tweeting and instagraming Steve.

Keeping that contract on a 1-5 bottom feeder team is such a bad move, especially when he has value...maybe smitty won't be in carolina but he should be elsewhere by the deadline.

 Ravens are done and I'd be Ok with overpaying a bit for a guy who's going to sign the one day contract to retire here anyway.

All the BS aside. 89 is a panther for life and he could help get us a super bowl THIS YEAR, while getting the ravens some picks or players to help them rebuild in another conference. It seems to work for all parties except butt hurt panther fans and butt hurt steve smith, so basically children

I'm afraid his Instagram says otherwise.

Smith has never been one to say stuff he doesn't mean. And what he said there he said pretty strongly.

He's not coming back. At this point, I wouldn't even bank on the one day contract retirement.

Seems to me like he hates our team and our fanbase. I am fully expecting him to retire a raven now.

i would hope the ravens future would outweigh steve smiths instagram.  Oherwise ozzie newsome/gettleman needs to find a beter job/hobby, because that contract needs to be moved ASAP.

if gettlemagic can get a jared allen deal for a pick smitty could put us over the top

[pantherclaw]

Amazes me how.many people continue to worship Steve Smith, and hates Peppers.

Peppers never pooed on the Panthers like Smith has.

Ravens brass doesn't see their season as over after six or seven games. No professional team worth anything would. They'll keep fighting, same as we did back in 2004 (and for that matter, just last season).

It was already reported that they're actually hoping Smith changes his mind about retirement and plays for them again next year. Hence, they're not interested in trading him this year. And given what the rest of their receiving corps looks like, no reason they should be.

Plus, as has been discussed already in this thread, we're not trading away anything for a guy who's only gonna play a partial season. Nor should we.

Bottom Line:  Whatever we win or lose this year will be done without Steve Smith. Many people think that's for the best, including the guy who makes these decisions.

It doesn't matter how you spin it in your head, dude. It isn't happening.

Eh, I think he hates the fact people are pitying him and wanting him to quit on his teammates to go back to a team whose GM showed him the door and said he couldn't play anymore.

Did you guys see what Smith posted on Instagram? Why would anyone want him back 

just bumping this back to the back of the thread....just in case anyone still thinks this is possible or a good idea and that it is something he wants.

[rayzor]

Well, here's your final answer, Regis.

Steve Smith: "I'd quit if the Ravens traded me."

So If Smith says he'd rather quit than play for anyone but the Ravens, do people here still want him back? 

and this. bridges = burnt

When I saw your name pop up, I thought it was about to be locked and moved.
