Smith supposedly wants out...

CHARLOTTE -- Like many NFL players, wide receiver Steve Smith’s future remains in limbo.

If it hadn’t been for the current NFL lockout, Smith might be playing for another team at this point, but since teams aren’t allowed to trade, players he remains a member of the Carolina Panthers — at least for now.

“It’s frustrating,” Smith said of the NFL lockout.

Smith again avoided direct questions Thursday about whether or not he wants to be traded, although sources have repeatedly told Carolina Growl he’s already expressed his desire to be traded to team management.

“It’s on hold because we’re not even allowed to presume there will be football,” Smith said of his future. “That privilege, and I emphasize privilege, has been taken away. There has been some mud-slinging going on, and people have had a chance to see the business aspect of football.”

If he's talking like that, I believe that means he wants out.

I went to the taco eating contest downtown today...yes, a taco eating contest. Smitty was in it against Moose. Anyway, when they introduced Smitty, they said..."Cheer for Smitty so he will stay next year."

When he got up, he showed a sort of disgust in his face and shook his head. It seemed more of a disappointed type expression. But, I can't really read into it too much, but it didn't look too good judging by what I saw.

You never know, he might of been thinking...'I can't believe he just said that', but I wouldn't think so.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
