Though two seasons remain on his contract, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has remained the subject of rumors regarding his future, whether it be in Carolina or elsewhere. Smith was inactive for the Panthers' season finale on Sunday, and after the game he was vague about his thoughts on the future.

"Despite what I may feel right now or last month or tomorrow, it's a decision that really the input goes in at home," Smith said, per Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer. "People may think I'm hiding behind that, but ultimately, in any business, it has to sit well at home with everybody, stay or go. Right now, I can say I want to stay here for the next 15 years, but we don't even know what three months are going to look like for the NFL."

Ultimately, Smith is not the one in control, as he is under contract. Even if he does demand to be traded, the team does not have to acquiesce to that demand, and he'll have to grin and bear it with a new head coach and possibly a new quarterback. The next few weeks may influence this situation greatly.

that's what it says

I think its was obvious this season that Smith doesnt have the patience to go through a rebuilding year or 2. And I think with his arogance, may have impeaded Clausens development. Smith wants to win, he needs to be sent where he can do that. Call me crazy, but I can see Steve Smith playing for the Colts in 2011.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
