God bless you for this marcopolo. I bet a "this is why we should trade SS" thread comes up within an hour of this post.

sticky???

I really think sutton should be traded though. We have 3 great backs. There is no need to have 4.

They mentioned it during the pregame show.

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.

Seattle tried to trade for Sutton a few weeks before the season started, the Panthers FO still said NO!

What about #28?

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.

Smith constantly injured? 31 is old?

I hope like Hell they trade Stewart.

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.
