if steve smith wants to leave THEN LEAVE

[CatMan72]

You can say what you want, but he's the most talented player in the history of the franchise and we're better off with him then without him.

Having said that, if he wants out then I think you let him out or run the risk of having a mess on your hands...

[Pimpdaddy]

Holy Jilted Lover, Batman!

....nothing like the Peppers love affair...:D

[jarhead]

How can you say you dont care if SSmith leaves? What are we going to get a 4th round pick? Steve Smith wants to win and Steve Smith wants to get the ball in his hand......I thought that is the kind of guy you want to keep.

He has always shown his emotions....hell I bet the whole team feels the same way after last year.

He still has another year on his contract and dispite all the acolades that have been laid on Gettis and lefell they are at best number 3 wrs in the nfl

How would yall fell if Randy Moss was signed??

Just a thought

I'd be pissed. I want nothing to do with Randy Moss. It's not going to happen though, no possible way.

[Darth Bobo]

He's our best receiver, even if he's a bit too expensive and he injures his teammates.

If this is the last year he has trade value, then I wouldn't take less than an early second round pick + some upgrade at another position.

He still has 2 years on his contract here.

I do not agree with giving Smitty a trade so he can get a chance to win a Super Bowl.

You trade a player when you feel you can get a lot for the player before his usefulness is gone.

This isn't farking Superbowl ring welfare we're running here, it's a franchise. You want to be gone? Wait until your contract expires and go free agent. Otherwise, you're the property of the Carolina Panthers. If they feel they have to have him to win games...drop the "trade me" crap...because you're paid to play a game for the team you're contracted with.

Mick Mixon says if Smitty and his family REALLY want out of town, Big Cat will do what he can to make that happen..

[Lumps]

It hurts to let him go but let's not twist the knife and do something stupid like get nothing for him.

[carolinarolls]

of course he wants a trade. it's the only thing left keeping him from true Diva status

[SevenSixes]

I say make Smitty STAY!

He's a great receiver with fantastic body control and phenomenal feel for the ball.

He's under contract, so make him play.

We have NOBODY that can replace him and there isn't a single free agent that I'd rather see in the Panther uniform. If after 2 years with Cam he still wants to leave, then he can. But until then I say SUIT UP 89!

Smitty is a competitor and he will not sandbag 2 years just cause he thinks JR is a jerk. He will be back to his HOF career stats next year.

[DoWorkBson]

Smith has been great for us, but he does not have hall of fame stats. That's probably through no fault of his own though. He has played his entire career with average at best Qb's on a run heavy team.

[Tyler Durden]

I don't really care if you all don't like to read what I am about to post...

but...

The #89 jersey should be retired faster than #51 was... and Smitty's statue should be made of steel...
