Releasing Smith had the opposite of the desired effects

[heel31ok]

If anyone thought Steve could do this last year and knew he would do this year your lying we all thought he was near the end

 

I didn't think he was near the end and that is documented here.

Never given a chance to restructure, which he likely would have done to stay here, but Gettledouche wants the team to be in his fat fug image.

According to Rapoport, after Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said at the NFL Scouting Combine the team was evaluating Smith's roster spot, the receiver asked for his release and refused a pay cut. When the Panthers failed in an endeavor to trade the veteran their hands were forced and they cut him, per Rapoport.

We didn't really "need" Smith last year. Cam spread the ball around well 

 

 

Which Smith hated and hates.

 

He's getting what he wants from Joe Flacco so far.  God help Flacco when he decides to do otherwise.

You know how I know you don't follow the Panthers all that closely?

 

 

Smith publicly stated that he wouldn't take a pay cut.

Shut them down with the facts.

Restructuring a contract and moving money around is what I was referring to.  That might have actually forced the fat fug to think for once.

Restructuring a contract is not taking a pay cut.

 

 

 

 

And let's don't forget, Steve's time here was over.

Smith didn't say he hated it.
