The Jets had the audacity to reach out to Steve Smith Sr., and asked if he still wanted to play.


Recommended Posts

The New York Jets have cut ties with a number of veterans this offseason, but that didn't stop them from reaching out to Steve Smith.

The Jets contacted Smith to see if he was interested in playing this coming season, according to a report.

"Earlier today in the green room, Steve Smith Sr. was saying 'Hey, the Jets reached out to me,'" the NFL Network's Kimberly Jones explained. "Yes, the Jets reached out to Steve Smith, asked if he was still interested in playing. He indicated he wasn't."

Worst team in the NFL next season.  Book it.

I don't get the audacity part? Doesn't it make sense they explore all options?

Its not like the Jets are some mortal enemy of the Panthers, and even if they were, it wouldn't be a big deal because SS hasn't been a Panther for a long time. 

I don't get it?

I guess because he is a retired vet that retired because he was tired of the grind and wear and tear as opposed to retiring because he couldn't find a team. Why would he subject himself to camp and a grueling season to play for a shitty team with a shitty QB. Its kind like asking him to come back for another 2010 season with Jimmy Clausen.

Edit: if he had any interest at all, it would be to play for a super bowl contender.

Who cares?  I might have the audacity to see if he wants to work in my warehouse.

Eh, it's the offseason.  There are way worse threads that don't have a damn thing to do with the Panthers (past or present) ha

That would make more sense if you said "SS has the audacity to sign with shitty team". But not for said shitty team to ask SS to play IMO.

I think it's mostly because the Jets are trash, and released all their good receivers like Decker (will happen this week), and Marshall.  To sign the oldest receiver in the League?  Come on.  That makes ZERO sense.

I think a lot of people would take an old ass Steve Smith over an old ass Marshall or a only good with Manning Decker.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
