If Smitty is "evaluated" and not on this team next yearn

[MHS831]

I'm not dead sold on the idea that Smitty will be cut.

But I do acknowledge it as a real and legitimate possibility.

 

The only way he stays is to rework his deal where he makes $6m this season and frees the team of the 2015 and 2016 obligations.  Sorta what Gross did.

 

I do not see us keeping him under his current deal.  He gets a one-year deal for the same amount that he would cost us if we cut him.  Not sure Smitty will take that deal/

Apparently Gettleman is on speaking terms with some huddlers here, since they seem to know his next moves.

Newsflash:  Nobody should speculate about perspective moves on an NFL team board unless you are in direct communication with the GM of the team you are discussing.

 

Let me repeat this for clarity--if you have an opinion and want to post it here, please have a conversation with Gettlemen first to verify your reasons.  Include a dated selfie with DG to verify that this conversation actually occured.

Seems reasonable.

[MHS831]

It would.

Does this mean you're on speaking terms with Smitty since yesterday you said he would restructure?

I guess if you equate me saying "I believe he would be willing to work something out" to "I 100% know he will restructure", then sure.

Simply stated all GM has said is that Cam is our franchise QB and to sign him while putting out a winning team he needs to right size the contracts of all players to do so. So in Smittys case if Smitty will play under that kind of contract he has a good chance of being here.

[RoaringRiot]

Right....because you saying "I believe" is so much different than the speculation others have made which you made your "must be on speaking terms with Gettleman" comment. So you have the right to speculate but when other do it warrants a sarcastic comment? Makes perfect sense....

I think there is difference between offering an opinion, and making statements as if they were already set in stone.

 

The whole idea of cutting Steve Smith isn't even remotely confirmed. It's based on interpretations some have made from comments at the combine. People have been spinning away on Gettleman, and Rivera's comments for like the past week. But still, it's all speculation.

 

If anyone here can link me to direct comments made from Gettleman or Rivera that involve the words "Steve Smith", and "cut" in the same sentence, I will be happy to read them. In the mean time, I will await the beginning of free agency, and simply see how it unfolds from here.

It's more than just taking the comments from the GM and the coach.  It's looking at the player as a whole, his production, his salary impact on the cap, our current cap situation, and objectively evaluating that for the first time ever there are actually scenarios that could make sense for Steve to not be on the team.  

 

We come to a message board to discuss those possibilities with other fans.  No one here has more information than the next person.  If that doesn't interest you then by all means, hop out of the thread and we'll see you back when FA starts when the actual plan unfolds.  Your "holier than thou" attitude and comments about how everyone on the Huddle is a moron for stating their opinions are played out.  Bring something new to the table other than putting people down

In regards to the "holier than thou" attitude, you are basically doing the same thing you are accusing me of. Ultimately it comes down to whether or not you personally feel whether he will, or will not be willing to work out something with his contract here. There's no indication either way.

they won't cut Smith, no matter how that comes about he will play next year for the Panthers.
