Smith to 49'ers?

[Johnny Rockets]

Agree, pregnant wife only adds to that. But I don't see him retiring and the closest teams are Atlanta, Baltimore?

 

 

I don't see him retiring either unless he doesn't get close to an opportunity he wants which I don't see happening. I think anything East coast might be close enough to home since Charlotte is kind of a central location and an hour or two flight home from basically anywhere east of the Mississippi,  but that is still hard to do on a regular basis during football season I would think. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

SF window closing fast, plus, you have to remember, they have a TON of draft picks this year to burn

[Jackofalltrades]

NO. Trade one of your best players to the team that knocked you out of the playoffs?? BRILLIANT. Just cut him so he can either retire or sign with the Broncos.

Who said Denver wants him? He's also on record saying he will play in 2014. With SF you keep him out of the division, get a draft pick AND give him a legit shot at a ring.

We don't play SF this season, what happened in the playoffs is irrelevant now.

IF the Panthers had ANY offers...they would have jumped all over it....this is just bait being dangled out there by some Panther execs trying to get something for Smitty....fact is Smitty deserves the $3 million and the opportunity to choose his next team....

 

The Panthers don't have squat for offers or they would have JUMPED all over it!

Pretty strong chance if Carolina returns to the playoffs they could face SF.  But I'm sure Steve would be happy back in Cali.

I would think a Smith/Harbough relationship would end up like this

Smith equated to at least 2 of Carolina's victories last year.....pretty sure without him....Carolina doesn't go to the playoffs last year!

Or, as any good GM would do, you wait until 4 pm and see if anyone else comes to the table with a 5th

And what does this have to do with the 2014 season?

[Way Truth Life]

If that offer existed....SF would never extend it after 4pm....that's when Smith will be cut and free to sign with out a $7 mill contract.  I'm pretty sure this is a ONE sided offer and it probably has little to do with SF's side.

Eh he wasn't as dominant as say 2005 where he equated to like 8 of their wins, but maybe the Miami game with that huge 4th down catch, I'll give him that.  Which other one?

[Ja Rhule]

Looks like Ravens want Smitty bad but refuse to trade for him. This makes sense if someone with a lot of cap room wants to jump in.

[Gucci Mane]

Unless smittys running rub routes, he aint gettin the ball... Kap will panic after his first read isnt open and try to take off.

[Way Truth Life]

And what does this have to do with the 2014 season?

Looking at 2 less victories given the fact a comparable WR is not on the market to replace Smith.  I don't see the Panthers making the playoffs in 2014 without Smith.
