Has Smitty ever gone on record about how long he wants to play?

[Awesomeness!!]

The thought alone makes me want to cry. I haven't heard or read anything about Smittys plans as far as leaving goes, so if anybody knows please post here. I was thinking if we win the Super Bowl he may just hang then up. You have to figure that he wouldn't have anything else to prove, and would have a 50/50 shot at the HOF.

2015 but if we won a superbowl this year I think him and Jordan might hang them up.

I remember reading before the season he want to play through 2016

When he gets 1,000 receptions.

Ok thanks for that. It also says he wants to be apart of something big. If we can figure out our money issues I see no reason why we won't compete every year for the next half decade.

I think he said here recently he wants to crack top 10 in yards and at least 1000 receptions before he hangs them up.  He's 160 or so receptions from 1000 right now I believe.

 

Smitty definitely has his legacy in mind.

Smitty is trying to cement himself as a HOF and I believe the Panthers are willing to let him to try and do just that. would be nice to have a beginning to end HOF career Panther, Smitty would be our first(and most deserving).

 

he is currently 164 receptions from 1000, which all things considered he's 3-4 more years from that.

I agree and I think they wouldn't be the only ones

Perhaps Wharton and Davis too. It's not probable they all do at once but 1 or 2 of those guys might

I would love more than anything for him to get the 1000 receptions and get into the HOF. I also think that if anybody can do it from this point it would be Smitty. In saying that it only gets harder from here. We will get more wr weapons in the next few years and he will become less and less part of the offense as he gets older. I'm scared he might run out of time.

From 2009: "I know I probably have six good years left in these short, squatty legs."

 

Obviously that was only pure conjecture at that point.

What Steve really wants is the team to find a replacement #1 so he can move in the slot and play a few more years.

Regardless, I will literally shed tears.

Win the SB and then just hangout.
