Smitty to pats?

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi envisions the Panthers finally dealing Steve Smith this offseason, pending a CBA agreement.

Lombari suggests Smith to the Patriots for a second-round pick as a good fit for both sides. The contending Pats need an outside/downfield threat at receiver while the rebuilding Panthers should be getting their hands on as many draft picks as possible. It just so happens that New England holds Carolina's second-rounder after the Panthers' ill-advised trade for Armanti Edwards last year. It's a deal that makes sense, at least on paper.

I think this would be a great deal

Our pressing needs are DT, Guard and Qb. We should be able to get an alright DT and Guard through FA. I know the common belief is that a team that finishes 2-14 must need massive upgrades at every position, so they should trade any player they have that has any kind of value in an attempt to get more draft picks, but I don't think that's the case with us.

Only trade Smith if he truly is unhappy and wants out. If not, keep him, he probably still has another two good years left. Just need our qb to learn how to hit a wr that's a little bit smaller than the other Wrs on the team. Clausen looked too scared to even attempt throwing the ball to Smith most of the time.

Smitty's my favorite player and I'd hate to see him go, but with the bad press were getting now and going to get in the future, a 2nd rounder is looking pretty good right now. We're going to need all the draft picks we can get, considering it will probably be hard for us to attract free agents. We're going to really have to build through the draft. This is all moot anyways, because I doubt we could get a 2nd for Smitty.

I love Smitty but if this happened it wouldn't be a bad thing. We would have the #1 pick and the 33rd pick that everyone has been bitching about. At this point I think Steve deserves a chance to win a championship and he doesn't have too many years left. If he has a horrible year people are gonna be complaining that we didn't take the pats up on their offer. In retrospect I would've much rather taken the 2nd round pick the pats offered for Peppers instead of paying him $1 million per game.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
