Smitty's is still on the market (link)

Smith, who is under contract through 2012, has not publicly demanded a trade. But he clearly was unhappy last year – his worst from a statistical standpoint in a season when he was healthy.

According to MLS listings, Smith's 10,700-square foot home has been reduced from $2.9 million to $2.3 million.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera certainly has made no guarantees that Smith will be back. Rivera met with Smith before the lockout and told him: “We've got to go through this process and then we'll go from there.”

Smith's uncertain situation could affect how the Panthers approach the draft.

Some have pointed to the Panthers' visit with Georgia WR A.J. Green as a smokescreen to cover their interest in Cam Newton.

But the Panthers could be looking at Green – not with the top pick, but a slightly lower one if they convince a team to trade up – as a replacement for Smith. Assuming a labor deal is struck, Smith then could be used as trade bait for a veteran quarterback, or at a minimum, to acquire future draft picks.

I doubt we trade Smitty. If he leaves it will be because he wants to leave. As for Green, I would rather bring in a veteran who was proven. Exactly how many receivers have we developed lately? Plus we have a stable of guys already including Gettis,Lafell, Edwards, Martin, Clowney,Wright, and whoever we decide to pick up.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
