NFL Network's Michael Lombardi envisions the Panthers finally dealing Steve Smith this offseason, pending a CBA agreement.
Lombari suggests Smith to the Patriots for a second-round pick as a good fit for both sides. The contending Pats need an outside/downfield threat at receiver while the rebuilding Panthers should be getting their hands on as many draft picks as possible. It just so happens that New England holds Carolina's second-rounder after the Panthers' ill-advised trade for Armanti Edwards last year. It's a deal that makes sense, at least on paper.

I think this would be a great deal

Can't wait for that to go down.
I love a good board implosion.

I don't see New England doing this, they could just as easily sign Santana Moss and keep the pick.

Throwing poo on the wall to see what sticks.

Hurney's ineptitude made concrete. Let's trade smith for Edwards! yay!

[teeray]

If there is no cba it is a moot point.

Smitty retires a Panther. Promise.

So practically trade Steve Smith for Armanti Edwards? BRILLIANT!

Not

I'd hate to see it but a 2nd rounder would be pretty clutch right now and he would instantly be a monster there and much happier I'm sure

ahahah, i didnt think of it that way. At least these fools didnt trade this no 1 pick for jimmy clausen last year, they tried their best

Our pressing needs are DT, Guard and Qb. We should be able to get an alright DT and Guard through FA. I know the common belief is that a team that finishes 2-14 must need massive upgrades at every position, so they should trade any player they have that has any kind of value in an attempt to get more draft picks, but I don't think that's the case with us.

Only trade Smith if he truly is unhappy and wants out. If not, keep him, he probably still has another two good years left. Just need our qb to learn how to hit a wr that's a little bit smaller than the other Wrs on the team. Clausen looked too scared to even attempt throwing the ball to Smith most of the time.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurney better pull his head out of his #ss and take a deep breath of fresh air. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT????? TO THE PATS OF ALL TEAM'S.

[AggieLean.]

Smitty's my favorite player and I'd hate to see him go, but with the bad press were getting now and going to get in the future, a 2nd rounder is looking pretty good right now. We're going to need all the draft picks we can get, considering it will probably be hard for us to attract free agents. We're going to really have to build through the draft. This is all moot anyways, because I doubt we could get a 2nd for Smitty.

I love Smitty but if this happened it wouldn't be a bad thing. We would have the #1 pick and the 33rd pick that everyone has been bitching about. At this point I think Steve deserves a chance to win a championship and he doesn't have too many years left. If he has a horrible year people are gonna be complaining that we didn't take the pats up on their offer. In retrospect I would've much rather taken the 2nd round pick the pats offered for Peppers instead of paying him $1 million per game.

Not so fast.

Pats have more than one 2nd round pick.

What makes you think they qould give us the #33 overall?
