Trading for Smitty mid-season.

[Dex]

Before you totally flame me at least hear me out. I understand there were some reasons aside from the cap situation for Smitty being traded however...

 

This past year after week 8 the Kansas City Chiefs were 8-0 and the Atlanta Falcons were 3-4. The Chiefs tried to bring Gonzo home since the Falcons were an obvious train wreck and KC believed they had a shot at a ring. I believe they offered ATL a 6th round pick in exchange for Gonzo. Now Gonzo would have helped KC's offense tremendously IMO and Smitty's return may not have had the same impact as Gonzo returning.

 

However lets just say after week 8 we're 7-1 or 8-0 and making a huge run and the Ravens are having a down season. What would you say to giving up a 6th round pick to the Ravens for the possibility of giving Smitty a ring as well as adding another weapon to our offense? I know this is a big "what if" considering our WR corps may be having a great season up to that point. But I would just like to hear some of your thoughts on it because it has me thinking.

No

Are there any restrictions on reacquiring a player you just traded/cut like in the NBA??

[Cary Kollins]

maybe a 7th, but def not a 6th

8-0 and we add a locker room distraction?

Steve Smith is gone.  Deal.

[Doyle]

Smitty is gone let it go man.

Last season half of the Huddle was screaming to trade for Josh Gordon. If our WR corps is struggling would you really be that opposed to trading for the greatest Panther of all time for a chance to get a ring?

To even consider that after the way our organization managed the whole debacle this offseason would be beyond ridiculous.

if we're 8-0 with a struggling receiving corps then we're making up for it with team chemistry in some form.

 

you don't mess with 8-0

Meh I guess my Smitty feels are too strong.

[PhillyB]

at some point he'll take a one-day contract here and retire and i'll be at that game to watch the honors. that's good enough for me

[updownsigma]

You really think Smith would want to come back here? If he could see into the future and knew we would win a SB, he still might not want back.

If we are winning why mess things up. Just realize when Smith resigns here its only for a day to retire a Panther.
