But, we all want to be like the Patriots and the Steelers.....and the Patriots were willing to move Randy Moss.

God, our fanbase does not get it.

You move players that are on the downside of their career....that is why the Patriots and the Steelers are the model franchises in the NFL.

No, I do get it... I actually called for a Smitty trade earlier in the season - WHEN WE WOULD'VE GOTTEN VALUE FOR HIM. But, to do it now after he's demanded a trade (if that's what happened), and as the season has wore on he's teams have gotten to see him with so little production... That's NOT how the Patriots and Steelers work.

And when I argued for it earlier in the season, I think I actually made the same comparison - I said it was ideal we did it then because the best franchises know "when to get out" with a player and get value for him and often the other team gets little to nothing and feeling robbed (Moss).

We really are the generic, corny ass, wannabe step-son of those franchises. Always trying to emulating them but never quite get it, and probably never will.

This lemon-sucking face motherfuger pretending to be a QB has done more to set this franchise back in one year than people realize.

Smith's contract is to large to fit in with New England. If he would take a pay cut then they would probably want him.

Of course they are likely to be in the Superbowl again this year and may not feel they need to upgrade the receiver corps.

i'd believe this if steve hadn't already said his desire to remain a panther. I realize that was before this season, and things can change.

It was a closed door meeting..hence this is 100% speculation.

Since we're going to speculate...maybe richardson was letting smitty know of his plans for the team, to reassure smitty, and maybe ask him for his input.

Then agai, maybe he is gone...but I can't imagine any meeting this time of year would be about a trade.

I hope you're right.

But when you go from being an elite WR to playing with an inept QB each game, HOPING to see just 1 pass thrown to you in a position where you can make a play... Yeah, I can see why he might want out.

Ditto, Smitty can't be traded until the offseason starts. I have a hard time believing Steve went to JR two several months before he can be traded and demanded a trade. He would have to hear about it from the media, fans, teammates etc for the next couple of months. I think this meeting was more about the direction the team is moving and his concern over the QB position then demanding to be moved....

Speculation:

Jimmy went cryin' to JR about how mean Smitty was and didn't like him...Boo Hoo

JR called Smitty to his office to share a laugh about what a cry baby Jimmy was!

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
