Panthers attempting to trade Steve Smith.

[AceBoogie]

Part of me feels like this is Gettleman trying to send some dumb message.

He's arrogant, I've been saying that since he got here.

[TheRed]

I find it difficult to believe that Steve Smith would want to uproot his family here after living in this city so many years.

[KissMyConverse]

This is epically ridiculous, though. Your GPOAT is getting treated like trash. We have no viable #1 waiting in the wings and he should be allowed to finish his career here! For all that he has done and meant to this organization and city?? Come the hell on man!!!

See Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and where they ended up and how they left San Fran....

And let's face it Steve Smith is no Joe Montana or Jerry Rice.

[Jangler]

Y'all realize this could very well have been at Steve Smith's request right? He's done it before and Gettleman isn't the green eared spaghetti monster some of you make him out to be.

 

neither was green eared spaghetti monster...

What I find funny is, I remember back in 2010/2011 how Hurney was criticized for being too loyal.  Same with John Fox.  Fox was too loyal to his guys and this entire site, for the most part, bashed both of them endlessly for it.  But now we have a general manager who is willing to make the tough decisions, the right decisions, and he is suddenly a bad person/GM?

You guys treat Steve Smith like he is still a top ten, or even fifteen, or even twenty receiver. He's not and yet is set to make money acting like he is. He's about to be 35 years old and it was evident on the field he is no longer that good anymore. It makes all the sense in the world to declare him a June 1st cut.

He's still our best and only fuging wr on the roster

Can someone ban this guy forever? What a horrible, horrible take.

The problem with trading him is he's not likely to take a pay cut to facilitate a trade. It's what stopped him from being traded last season when the Panther's probably could have gotten a draft pick for him.

Sure, but who says we aren't going to bring in younger, cheaper, quality receivers?  Free agency hasn't even started yet.

And free agency hasn't really started and the draft is a few months away.
