The Jets had the audacity to reach out to Steve Smith Sr., and asked if he still wanted to play.

The New York Jets have cut ties with a number of veterans this offseason, but that didn't stop them from reaching out to Steve Smith.

The Jets contacted Smith to see if he was interested in playing this coming season, according to a report.

"Earlier today in the green room, Steve Smith Sr. was saying 'Hey, the Jets reached out to me,'" the NFL Network's Kimberly Jones explained. "Yes, the Jets reached out to Steve Smith, asked if he was still interested in playing. He indicated he wasn't."

Worst team in the NFL next season.  Book it.

I don't get the audacity part? Doesn't it make sense they explore all options?

Its not like the Jets are some mortal enemy of the Panthers, and even if they were, it wouldn't be a big deal because SS hasn't been a Panther for a long time. 

I don't get it?

I guess because he is a retired vet that retired because he was tired of the grind and wear and tear as opposed to retiring because he couldn't find a team. Why would he subject himself to camp and a grueling season to play for a shitty team with a shitty QB. Its kind like asking him to come back for another 2010 season with Jimmy Clausen.

Edit: if he had any interest at all, it would be to play for a super bowl contender.

Who cares?  I might have the audacity to see if he wants to work in my warehouse.

Eh, it's the offseason.  There are way worse threads that don't have a damn thing to do with the Panthers (past or present) ha

That would make more sense if you said "SS has the audacity to sign with shitty team". But not for said shitty team to ask SS to play IMO.

I think it's mostly because the Jets are trash, and released all their good receivers like Decker (will happen this week), and Marshall.  To sign the oldest receiver in the League?  Come on.  That makes ZERO sense.

I think a lot of people would take an old ass Steve Smith over an old ass Marshall or a only good with Manning Decker.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
