Who exactly do you think is going to trade a 1st for Smitty? Or hell, even a 2nd? Neither of those seems likely to me...

Perhaps the Texans or the Chargers would be willing to give up a 2nd. I'm kind of rooting for the Texans to go far in the playoffs for two reasons. One of them is if they feel like Steve Smith could put them over the edge, they would be willing to give up a little more for him. With all that said, if we can't get that, then hopefully Smitty will restructure his deal and he stays with us.

Now you guys can call me crazy but i thought about the same thing today. Now before you guys get ready to kill me hear me out. Let's just say we are picking some were between 3 and 5 in the draft and Matt Kalil will be gone. The panthers will really think about trading out, but they will look at Smitty age and his contract numbers.If Justin blackmon is right on the board there is no chance in hell they wont take him. The reason why is the thought process of them wanting to keep trying to develop Cam and giving him weapons.

Now I always loved Smitty and I hope he never go. But his cap number maybe huge next year and somebody may want to give up a second round pick for his services. Then I can see us going into camp with Gettis number 2 Blackmon 1 and Naanee number 3 or Lafell. Trust me Nannee will be way more effective in the slot. Because you have to look at it this way. Gettis is a good WR but is he a true number 1 ? Smitty is getting old what if he gets injured who will step up and be number 1. So we need to get someone like Blackmon if we can.

Not saying my opinion want change between now and April but I think Blackmon would be a solid choice by draft time.

Smith will be a Panther until the day he decides to hang it up, that's all there is to it. When that day does come, there will be a line out the door for free agent WR's that want to be Cam's #1 target, you can bank on that. If we get Kalil or Martin and Cam has one of the youngest, best offensive lines in football giving him all day to through in this offense, guys will definitely want to play here IMO.

that contract essentially makes him untradeable. the only way he could be would be if he reconstructed it, but then there would be no incentive for us to really trade him.

there is really no pick outside of the 1st round that i would feel good about giving up for him seeing what he and cam are capable of.

I love Greg Hardy as well, and if there is no one better on the free agent market, we should definitely keep him. Yet if a Mario Williams became available, I'm willing to make space to sign him.

The gap between Hardy and Williams in production is not worth the 10 mil he will cost more a year. Not on a 2 win team with so many needs.

If we have 10 mil to use ( I doubt it ) then we should and can use them on a guy like DT Garay, LB Lawson and CB Rogers. We can have all three of them for what Williams is gonna cost.

I guess I'm still holding out for Hardy. He has potential, but how long will it take for him to be a dominating factor? How long will it be for teams to have to set two guys to block him, setting CJ free?:D

When it comes to Williams, he controls that kind of presence right now. Bringing him in will instantly improve the whole defense. That is worth 10 mil.

I think when it comes to Welker's game, he has many opportunities to make plays. He's a great receiver, but I still don't consider him elite. Cassell's not elite, but he's not bad either. (After all he did justify it by taking the chiefs to the playoffs last year.)

When it comes to Smitty playing with Clausen, every receiver in the league would have struggled playing with him. I do think receivers like Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, and those boys would have had better statistics if they played with Jimmy, but none the less they would be held back.

All in all, if we could get a high draft pick for Smith (early 2nd round or higher), we should trade him. How many of you would trade him for a 1st?

Welker is on pace to break Jerry Rice's single season record.....dude is elite.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
