Smith was viewed as a distraction by Getts

[CelibatePimp]

From The Charlotte Observer's Joseph Person: "Sources say (general manager Dave) Gettleman views Smith as a distraction and is ready to turn the locker room over to emerging stars such as quarterback Cam Newton and middle linebacker Luke Kuechly. Smith's fiery personality has made him a fan favorite, but can grate on teammates and coaches."

yeah, saw that scroll on the bottom of the NFL network. Makes sense that Gett wants the leaders of the team to be Cam or Keek. But Smitty was far from a distraction.

Then Hardy is def a distraction. Tbh.

[WOW!!]

I do have a problem with all the chirping and news coming out of this FO.

If you're letting him go then let that be all the media knows. No need to kick and pick at Smitty on the way out.

If he was a distraction why did many player on "This is Gross" talk about how great the locker room was last year?
