Panthers attempting to trade Steve Smith.

[OneBadCat]

I like what Gettleman has done here but getting rid of the best and most beloved player in team history is still a mistake. He is the iconic Panther. I know he's due $7 million but quite frankly for what he done for the team for so long I almost think he deserves it. Even if he's not as good anymore he carried the Panthers for a long long time. He had a few opportunities to leave yet stayed on a very reasonable contract compared to other WRs.

 

They better trade him to a contender. Get Manning and Brady on the phone.

Now waiting on the 7th person to post that the store is not selling his jersey and the 10 person to say it's because they are adding SR to the end.  It happens about every 4-5 pages.

 

 

...aaaaaaannnd 4-5 pages later

 

 

Smitty is officially gone.

His jerseys have been purged from the team store.

Cheap shot JR, real class.

 

.

 

 

its already been reported that his jerseys have been pulled to add Sr. to them.  'Smith Sr.'

 

lol

are you guys incompetent?

 

 

The Panthers would gain little by releasing Smith. His cap charge for the year would be $6 million, assuming his is a post June 1, and he is currently only counting for $7 million.

gettleman is pretty ruthless. maybe he's trying to scare him into taking a cut.

 

It's not like the Giants don't use the media to help with player negotiations.

The thread will limp along until tomorrow when something actually goes down with Steve and then it will blow up again.  Some will probably be asking where they can buy Smith jerseys.  LOL

Why not try to trade our crappy Running Backs with huge salaries first???  DWill, JStew, pick one, trade them for a 7th

Started reading this thread from the start.

Gave up.

49ers will be in touch, and guarantee you a trip to the Super Bowl, and a chance to run over Carolina on the way.

Do you know how June 1st cut works?

You obviously know very little of how the NFL works...

Cause with all the guaranteed money they have coming we will be fugged! Cutting Smith as a June 1st tomorrow gives us roughly a little over 13mil in room, excluding today's signings! We trade JStew and we will be over the cap! JStew is literally untouchable

Steve Smith is the reason I'm a football fan and a Panthers fan. Easily the most electric and exciting player I've ever had the privilege of watching.

 

Honestly, I'm disgusted with the organization right now. A couple million in cap is your excuse? For what? So we can sign some useless scrub that wont see the field?

 

I hope Steve goes to a contender and I'd honestly want to see him win a ring before he retires MUCH more than I'd wanna see the Carolina Panthers win a championship in that same span of time.

[MHS831]

Hell to the damn yeah it would. As long someone is productive and reliable in that spot we're good. Still would like to see Smitty play here til he retires though. He's said he doesnt mind playing the 2 spot.

 

I am not giving up on hope.  He may shop around and get no better offers. One last run for a ring and a statue.

WTF cut that worthless S Godfrey first...
