To be honest, I could not imagine them cutting Smith either. I figured Gettleman's comments were a way to usher in this new era of "don't expect to stay just because the fans love you etc etc" and "you are gonna have to earn your keep here." To me, I still doubt they cut him outright just because financially it does not help the team that much. Personally I would rather not have the 2 million in cap room that we would get from cutting Smith, and would rather have a leader who could still get 500 yards and 2-5 TD's. I do not know if Gettleman's comments equate to cutting ties with Smith, or if any bridges have been burned as of now. My hope, as I said before, is that this is Gettleman's way of forcing Smith's hand, in the hope of having him restructure or retire.

 

I agree, I think Gman is trying to force Smith to restructure/retire.  a trade would mean he would have to uproot his family

So we are gonna cut arguably the greatest Panther in history, who still had a solid year last year despite being the only competent WR on the roster and the focal point of everyone's secondary for 2 million dollars that will probably go toward signing a slightly above average OT or CB. I love the Panthers but if there is one player who deserves to go out on his own terms it's Smitty. He can still play some ball even if it's not at the Pro Bowl level that we're used to seeing.
