The Panthers and wide receiver/punt returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette may be parting ways.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Panthers are not expected to tender Smith-Marsette a contract as a restricted free agent. Fowler adds that the two sides could still agree on a contract, but Smith-Marsette is currently set to hit the open market.

Smith-Marsette joined the Panthers in a preseason trade with the Chiefs last summer. He averaged 8.7 yards per punt return and had a 79-yard touchdown return in a Week 10 loss to the Bears.

Smith-Marsette, who entered the league as a 2021 Vikings fifth-round pick, also caught eight passes for 51 yards and ran eight times for 74 yards last season

He's not bad, but really, I can understand him not being tendered. If he can get good money elsewhere, then the team is smart to let him go. It's more cost effective to roll the dice at this point. 

I did think he could add something in our passing game, but man, there are a lot of dead-weight guys in front of him with actual contracts. There's going to have to be an axe taken to that group before he's got a shot at getting in there.

But... if he's still out there getting offers at vet minimum or a bit more, then expect the Panthers to make a move to retain him, matching those offers but not much more than that.

      "by name"?  You mean they are letting him say he is retiring or stepping down? That's even more embarrassing than being fired (he basically quit) and so transparently false that the media will kill him and this university.  If this happens, I may just turn full fledge to an SMU fan since I live in Dallas now. I'm just about sick of this university's approach to basketball and football.
