Another reason that guys trashing him on here should be punched

Directly and squarely in the ovaries.

89 loves Charlotte, the Panthers and Richardson.

He is also 35 and knows the business side of the sport at this stage. As Gross does.

89 isn't going to burn the bridge to where he fully intends to retire.

Now if a GM or coach leaves....he might take some shots at them when they aren't here

I think the only guy Smitty will hate is Gettleman. And it's understandable, this was pretty much his decision alone.

Gettleman is convinced he's right in the long term, and only time will tell.

He is right. Even if it hurts the team this year. Keeping Smith & picking up his tab for '15-'16 would've been retarded.

It was the right move. Smith wouldn't have taken a big enough pay cut & left all that money.

As long as we have McNutt to entertain us with almost TD catches we should be okay. I personally think we take stony Washing from App in the 6th. 5-10 205 4.5 40 38.5 inch vertical with the hands to match his leaping ability. Anyone who watched App at ECU knows this guy is for real. Runs crisp routes and gets by defenders. Also put up 225 22 times at his pro day.

Great player for a late round pick for us.

Oh, and he actually played receiver through high school and college. He's very Steve Smith like in regards to size, leaping ability, hands, and burst. So that's someone to watch.

How do you know he wouldn't?

He is a stud receiver with great hands. Somebody will pick him up.

He's been right before. Dave has a knack for getting rid of players just at the right time.

How so?

[jarhead]

Dave was a scout at the Giants and really has not had to get rid of players until now. How is that a knack?

Why should he be mad at us.  We were used as a vehicle to make a lot more money.

How do you know he wouldn't?

He pretty much said as much this morning on ESPN.

"Do you feel they owed you anything? Did they offer a way for you to stay there or was it just it's over? Would you have liked that option or did it matter?"

"Nothing was ever discussed. Yes, I would've at least like to have been offered that so I could have made the decision for myself."

Do you really think Steve would have played here for $2mil this season? Because even if it had been an option, that's about all DG would've offered him. Smith is making $9.75mil this year. He wasn't gonna take a nearly $8mil pay cut this season just to stay in Carolina. He's stated numerous times before he wouldn't.
