Depending when a CBA is signed probably all league dates will be adjusted accordingly. So past deadlines won't apply.

However, I hope Smitty is here either way.

was never a question to me..

Smith being traded was entirely the invention of this message board. the concept hardly exists outside of it.

I think in his heart Smith wants to remain a Panther. But I think he wants help. I think he wants to see reliable quarterback play. I think he wants other receivers to step up and take some pressure off him. I think he wants to be used in different and creative ways on offense.

Now it’s up to Chudzinski and his staff to find ways to use him and keep him happy.

I am with Smitty on this one 100%. Make the tight end a weapon, put Smitty in motion and mix things up a bit. We might try 4 receiver sets and an attacking passing style to make throwing the ball something other the recourse of last resort.

Nah.................

You guys act like its absolutely absurd to think it could happen. It most certainly can and does. Not with the panthers so much, they hold onto players for better or worse, sometimes too long. In fact, this articles flaw is the failure to recognize the Panther's ability to let their best players go for little or nothing or everything. Really at this point it should be up to Smitty, he deserves the respect to chose and either way he'll be competing, that is the way I see it.

Smitty will get a ring as a Panther.

[KillerKat]

It's pretty much saying we won't draft Green, which no one knows for sure.

[CarolinaKid704]

I think Smitty is here to stay. Just get the feeling he wants to win a ring and be in the hall of fame under one team. But wouldn't blame Smith or management if it doesn't work out that way.

I said this yesterday but its all good :biggrin:

[D34Williams]

This is nothing new that hasn't been discussed. Though, I hope those who are for the idea of trading smitty will shut up, I doubt it will. I'm with LP, he's going to get a ring here, or at the very least, will retire a Panther.

[diehard panther#1]

Richardson and Hurney, will probably trade him to the bears.:eek:

[SCP]

I really hope he stays here and retires a Panther.

Teh tradezz r teh cool.
