Teams Calling About Smitty

[Kurb]

Several of you are caught up into the old narrative of status-quo, 8-8 being ok, and overpaying our guys and aging players.

Moving players off a sinking ship to free up space and add young talent or draft picks would be a prudent thing to do.

You are afraid, its ok, change is in the air...again...

[YoungPanthers89]

Man I never thought id see the day when people wanted to trade 89

[Kurb]

It's not a want issue.

It's a what helps the future issue.

89 is low on my list of people I WANT to trade, but if it is a good deal, you make the move.

Also jtGreesnboro gets a warning for being douchyer than usual.

[Zod]

Just threw out the first names that popped in my head honestly.

Older players, big contracts, FIRE SALE

Agreed. We need to go young and cleanse the losing attitude

Trust me it's just our fan base.

Everyone was fine with Smitty getting an extension now people wants him gone.

Isn't it silly to even hear about some of our ignorant fans wanting to trade Cam ?

I just see no logical reason to trade 89, unless as you said its a good deal, but my good deal(at least a first imo) is not something a team would be willing to offer at this point.

In addition, with a team who has needs in many areas, if you do trade 89, it leaves a MASSIVE void at WR, and adds it to the short list of positions that are in dire need of being upgraded.

So in other words, if trading Smitty significantly weakens an aspect of your team while giving you say a 2nd round pick next year, who you use on a WR who you hope will be a significant contributer 2-3 years down the line essentially is saying that you don't want to win, and instead would prefer to significantly weaken your overall team for a chance to hopefully get someone who is a starter in the 2nd. Let alone a starter who you would rely on, or would be even half the receiver Smith was at any point in his career.

A 3rd? Sure. We could probably fill a FS in the 3rd round but anything lower than that is ridiculous. Can't always hit gold in the lower rounds.

I'd be willing to bet that smitty has a trade clause in his contract. He and his family love Charlotte. He's not going anywhere, he'll just retire...

I'd love to see him come back as our WR coach one day...He'd still get a ring as a coach...

Yeah, he can love Charlotte....live here....and rent a pad to crash in to play in another city. TONS of guys do that....they don't all pack up ther families.

We should trade him. New era shouldn't include Smith....he represents the past and we won't ever transition away from our one man pass attack until he is gone. Find Cam his WRs....

[megadeth078]

I don't know why everybody is so excited for a fourth round pick.

[CBDellinger]

The Bills call about Smitty and everyone is calling for a fire sale or Trade Cam?! Wtf people get a grip.

We have 2 or 3 players we could move that would be worthwhile. Even that is a long shot. No one is going to give us the farm for overpaid players. Most GMs are not stupid like Hurney.

Cam has struggles for half a season and people wanna get rid of him?!

Amazing, just amazing .

I don't think anyone is looking for a team to "give up the farm".....

Realistically just getting off some contracts would be a win......like Williams.

If Cam is struggling.....then he struggled last year. Just bc Jason Whitlock says he was struggling doesn't it make it true....Chud and the O are struggling and it isn't bc of Newton. Unrealistic expeditions doesn't = struggling.

The reason I don't think this is even fathomable is the fact that not only would we lose a fantastic No. 1 receiver. We would not only lose our most veteran WR but our most veteran player in that locker room. I like the development of LaFell this year. The few games that we've had an offensive appearance he has shown up as a legitimate No. 2.

The most veteran receiver on our roster would be Louis Murphy, with four years. We've got plenty of talent to develop, I just don't think it's a viable option.

[Guest Tom Cat]

How long do you guys think smitty has left in him anyway - Im asking those who dont want to try to get something for him this year in a lost season?
