So #89 will retire a Panther and #34 will end up getting a max offer from some other team that we probably won't match.

IMO the only way I see us keeping Deangelo with the other talent in the backfield is if he gives us a hometown discount, which won't happen with a RB. However, by keeping him on the bench and limiting his carries throughout his entire career we have probably preserved him until he is about 33 as far as being an elite RB. We saw it with Thomas Jones essentially everywhere he went and his running style is way more aggressive than Deangelo.

Steve Smith-WR- Panthers Oct. 17 - 11:59 am et

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Panthers "will not trade WR Steve Smith under any circumstance."

Schefter also reports that the team is not interested in trading RB DeAngelo Williams. Smith is signed through 2012, so the team has no reason to trade the Pro Bowl wide receiver. Williams is a free agent at the end of the season, but his stock is at an all time low. The winless Panthers could dangle Smith in the offseason, but the 31 year old is constantly injured and will likely draw only marginal interest.

I hope like Hell they trade Stewart.

you hope they trade our younger RB?

one who is off to a better start to his career than anyone else on the roster?

one who not only has a high pain tolerance but plays VERY well while injured? a RB who also has never missed a game b/c of injury?

Of course people want this. They see his YPC this season and forget about the awesome end to last season he had.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
