Carolina Panthers and former Gamecocks wide receiver arrested on gun and drug charges

BY JONATHAN M. ALEXANDER AND ANDREW DYS MARCH 25, 2022 5:56 PM

Panthers wide receiver Shi Smith was arrested on gun and drug charges Friday in Union County, S.C., according to jail and court records. South Carolina court and police records show Smith was charged Friday by Union County Sheriff’s Office deputies with unlawful carrying of a pistol, possession of drugs and speeding.

Smith was given a $5,000 bond on the drug charge and a $1,000 bond on the gun charge after he appeared before a Union County magistrate judge, according to online Union County court records.

 As of 5:50 p.m. he was still in the custody of the Union County, S.C. jail. A spokesperson for the Panthers said they were aware of the matter, but declined to comment further citing “a pending legal matter.”

Smith, 23, caught six passes for 104 yards during his rookie season in Carolina. The Panthers drafted him in the sixth round from South Carolina where he stared for four seasons. He is entering the second year of a four-year rookie deal.

Smith was born in Union, S.C., where he was arrested. He is expected to be a contributor on special teams next season. This is a developing story. Check back later for updates.

Which is hypocritical for an organization (and an owner) who have promised to be better than what we had under Jerry Richardson.

Most of us probably agree but we also know that life ain't fair. He's a 6th at a redundant position.  He's gone

    • Yeah, banking on his hands, vertical, height etc. Thing is we have a processor with an average arm, not a gunslinger so he might not even get those 50/50's to even show what he can do. XL has some of the same BY issues, if he doesn't get some 50/50 throws his way he's going to be stuck catching a lot of expected shallow crossers aka dinks and dunks
    • Really like him. He will be great for Bryce. I hope he doesn't get a lot of push off calls as he did that on some of those catches. 
    • Everyone talks about how important it is to draft a QB in round 1 and have the "5th year option" I haven't seen it play out the well over the past several years. The good/great QB' aren't playing the first 5 years under their original deal.  After year 3 or 4 they are getting mammoth extensions. Having Penix take over in year 3 may actually save the Falcons some money over the next 5 seasons. I doubt they'd give him an extension after his first year as a starter if he took over the starting position after the guaranteed portion of Kurt Cousins new deal ends in 2025.   In terms of playing time, Penix 3 years as a starter would be ending with the 5th year of his rookie deal (assuming his option was picked up). The money Penix would be making in year 5 of a rookie contract would be significantly less than the upper echelon 5 year starters are making now.
