Most of us love and respect Smith for his years of service. But time to move on from Smith. Decker is much younger player and pretty good WR. He ain't great, but he is solid. At this point Smith is old and just about finish. If some how we can land both Nicks and Decker for a reasonable price. We should take it. Even if it means letting lose Smith. Time moves on and does to the Panthers. The NFL is a business and all the players understand that. Some fans just don't.

so you think cutting smith would give the $$ to sign the both of them? You're delusional! Wo would only recoup a/b 2 million dollars by doing it & we'll still be paying him 3 mill over the course of the season. Stop w/ all this it's time to move on crap when you clearly don't even know what "moving on" from him actually means. Nicks said he grew up watching Smith & I doubt he would even still wanna come here if we cut him. The best option would be to keep him, put him in he slot, & make Nicks the #1. Decker is out of the ? Either way. there's no "hoping" he won't want a lot of $ cuz if he didn't he would jus stay where he is

Smith has 2 good years left but even if you think he doesn't cutting him this year doesn't save much vs what you could get in FA . He is better than Decker right now and cheaper.You pay him this year get a #1 in the draft and deal with next year when it comes and according to what he does this year.That is the smart business move instead of overpaying for another #2.

Smith will not be better than Decker this coming season! Hearts are gonna get broken over his production next year if he is here! You can't stop, nor defy Father Time! He needs to follow Gross' lead and go out while he can still walk and function normal! With his passion, he is prime coaching material

Here's the big secret he doesnt have 2 good years left, last year was just ok, with him making a few clutch plays he was boarderline averge for a #2 last season. He had 400 less yards last year on 9 less catches from the year before, and nearly 700 yards less on 15 less catches from the year before that, Smith isnt getting better, he's declining heavily, what is he going to do next season on his current rate of decline he may do 500 yards on 50 catches? that's good if youre a #3 but heck there are players dozens of players you could get that level of production out of every year in FA.

 

We honestly would be better off Going with Nicks or Decker, and drafting a WR's and Hoping he pans out then just drafting and praying he works out. WR is about as hit and miss as any position in the NFL when it comes to drafting, with litterally like 50% of them turning bust.

 

if it was that easy to draft a #1 WR every team would have one, which most dont.

We should probably sign one of these guys but cutting Smith to do it isn't the right answer. Smitty is the only WR has chemistry with Cam. You cut Smith we're going to need to find another WR to help Nicks or Decker out because we'll end up in the same dilemma we've seen in the past.
