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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
