There are rumors that the Panthers are shopping Steve Smith

[Catdaddy]

If we trade him to another team without a strong number one receiver on their roster he will just get double teamed like he does for us on almost every obvious passing down

All the rumors I see are that "according to the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers are looking to trade Steve Smith" which is not true

I don't think it's that far fetched... I actually saw this coming. Think about it. We are in a rebuilding year. I know a lot of you don't want to admit it, but we are. Our window of opportunity to be a perennial playoff team and championship contender has closed. We are starting from scratch and trading Steve is part of that process.

We are going to be a new team, with new coaches, and a new identity(if we have one at all) next year. The next few seasons to come are going to be rough. If we can get some value from Steve in a trade now would be the best time. I doubt that any players will be coming to Carolina in the trade. I see it being for draft picks only. If we do get anybody it won't be a star. It'll be some young roster fillers.

in summary

Steve's not getting any younger, but the team is. Trade him now while he still holds value. (I'm not saying I want this. I'm just saying what the logic behind it is.)

I smell BS

I mean if we could get a first, maybe. Only Dan Snyder's that dumb, though.

Wait.

thats a big ass thread but i found it... apparently skins fans think we are looking to trade smith for haynsworth... dont think this is gonna happen but if we trade SS i want draft picks so our next coach can build the team his way... just imo

If Smith goes I may give up on the team.

A rumor from a single post on a message board?

Are you people that gullible?

FO better prepare for a mutiny of the fanbase if this ends up happening....esp. if all they get is a 4th round pick or something worthless like that.
