Panthers attempting to trade Steve Smith.

[MadHatter]

What an absolute embarrassment. How do you treat a guy like that? You took away any good faith to negotiate when they put him on blast to the media then they unceremoniously attempt a trade or an out right cut?

This is unacceptable. For a guy that did so much for this franchise what an absolute poo way to send him off. We didn't even get to thank him for what he meant to the fans.

 

Welcome to the real NFL....it is all about $ and business.  And that is not just the owners, but the players too.

 

Fans get all emotional about this.  Most players are NOT fans of the teams they play for.  They are employers.

I hate to see him go if he does go.           He is my favorite Panther of all time and one of my favorite WRs of all time..

 

 

it's a business though and if they asked him to take a pay cut and he declined..........then so be it...  the best for the team is better than just the best for one player.         He is not a legit #1 WR anymore.....and we are struggling across the board at that position,   even if he may get a statue outside the stadium in the future.

No...it would be a $2M hit...not savings.

Holy crap, I read it wrong... Now what is the point... You might get a 5th rounder for him but the cap hit is still going to be there (just not as much).

And Greg Hardy isn't worth the 13 mil tag. The only difference is we have guys that can fill that spot.

 

If we cut Smitty and added little to WR, I would be pissed.  I have to wait and see what they actually do to determine whether it is a good move or not (in my opinion).

We are about to be the damn Cleveland Caviliers, watch what I tell you.

Comparing a 34 yo Smitty to LeBron....laughable.

Ok. I cannot believe this is really happening right now. I am not ready to accept this. Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop!

I've been saying he's searching for his Victor Cruz

We should have let Hardy walk.  We could have had more cap space to work with.  Hardy is great, but we really do have a dominant D-line even without him.

 

We do?

heartbroken and speechless

I'm actually talking about Cam leaving because just like the Cavs we haven't given him much help. Hell we are actually taking players away from him.

LOL

SMH.

"AceBoogie", believe it or not, the Panthers were around before Cam Newton.

They were also around before Steve Smith, and will be around after him.

Let the poo work itself out before you kill yourself. Damn.
