Will Steve Smith be traded this week?

[MHS831]

Cleaned out his locker, house for sale, even his stadium box supposedly has been stripped of Smith photos and memorablila. Now there could be free agency and trades during the draft--theoretically. The tea leaves do not look good.

The hope for a Armanti for Steve Smith trade lives!

[Mvp2014]

Hopefully we get that 2nd rounder back that the Pats stole from our dumbasses

Steve cant be traded until monday at the earliest

[Carolina Husker]

No.

[Marguide]

Nothing is going to happen in time for them to get picks this year, so there is no reason to rush to trade him.

Once things resume and teams know what they still need post-draft, we may get a better deal anyway.

Why not trade him if he wants out. He isn't the kind of guy you want around if he isn't happy. Frankly, I am sick of his attitude and lack of leadership on and off the field. Tough for me to say because Smith has always been my favorite Panther. Most vets take pride in being a leader and helping mentor and teach new players. Without this trait, he really is not good for a young team.

do u take pride in mentoring new employees at ur job? Thats what I thought. Its a paycheck.

I don't get this statement. Nobody looks forward to training new coworkers, but if you don't take pride in it, odds are you're not teaching the newbies anything or helping with their development. Also, if my bosses expected me to train new hires and I didn't, pretty sure there would be no paycheck, and I'd be sh*tcanned. Moose took Smitty under, and now it's Smitty's turn. His attitude is a pure reflection of his egocentric nature that has been a major issue for the past several seasons. I say this as a huge Smith fan. He's probably been one of my 3 favorite all-time Panther players, but let's be real.

Can't they do a trade for a 'player to be named later'

or just get the Pats to draft at #33 hopefully the player we wont, trading to us once deal can be done. a gentlemans agreement in other words.

Armanti Edwards for Steve Smith, brilliant job Hurney!

[C47]

If we trade Steve Smith fans aren't going to be happy with the compensation. Those thinking we could get a second (even a third maybe) are fooling themselves. Randy Moss was traded for a fourth rounder.....

[teeray]

I doubt teams are going to go dealing.

[chknwing]

there is nothing that says a player has to mentor new players. Thats why they have coaches and assistants.

Not doubting you, but I have not read that. I read something that said as soon as the judge ruled against a stay it would set the wheels in motion. Why Monday?
