Smith was viewed as a distraction by Getts

[Pox 08]

We need a next generation asshole.

 

Wonder if the Cowboys would be willing to part with Dez?

Translation: He didn't kiss my ass so he had to go

That's pulling poo out of thin air. He's a dick because he's a businessman

He also lacks pr skills obviously. This had nothing to do with ass kissing

The sun came out today in Charlotte, when the news from Smitty's agent became public.

Maybe cam said something... :o

[Pox 08]

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

 

because they feared some 89 homer would find out where they live and burn their houses down if they dared to speak ill of Smith?

[Panthro]

You guys don't have to work with him. What makes him fun to watch and a fiery competitor would get pretty annoying after a while

[KillerKat]

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."

I've been thinking about this. This decision could not have come from Getts alone. Rivera also towed the line when asked during the combine. It could have been a group decision.

Smitty would've been a great distraction to Cam's headache this year as he's running for his life behind a non-existent O-line and literally 0 receivers

It was most definitely a group decision

[TheNewStandard]

How upset would y'all be if Gross wanted to return to the locker room because of this?

[intangiblejohnny]

because they feared some 89 homer would find out where they live and burn their houses down if they dared to speak ill of Smith?

I was asking a valid question that nobody seems to be able to answer.
