Instead he said he was slowing down and losing effectiveness giving the team an opportunity to cut him and they took it.

Statements on PFT under the team section. Too lazy to link on the phone. It's probably already on the forum somewhere anyway.

 

 

edit: yep Zod got it.  different outlet same story tho.

Why would you release one of your best players without a backup plan?  In this case there was not even a backing up backup plan.

 

It was a poor decision.

 

The back up plan was guys like jerricho cotchery who are cheaper and just as effective.

because he's old & slow & Jerricho Cotchery is 10x more effective....

You are insane. PLEASE show me where does Cotchery make the catches that Steve Smith does? Or the effort in blocking that Steve Smith does? In comparison, Steve Smith was signed TWO days after he was released. Cotchery? Two weeks after FA.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
