riceman80 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Trading a young player with starting experience on a cheap contract for a one trick pony past his prime with a bloated salary who was gonna get cut. Nice work Hurney Props to Howie for convincing him that Smith was worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it doesn't help us with our mission to become cap compliant, but it will be money that can be spent once Free Agency begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say it's uninspired is an understatement. The only way this could get any worse re-tread wise is if Rivera got fired after 2018, and was replaced with Jeff Fisher. He'd probably announce that Cam would be moved to punter, since that's apparently the most important part of the O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Besides this being, just in general, a bad trade for the Panthers, it is a continuation of the behavior Hurney showed in his previous stint as Carolina GM of getting them into massive cap hell. This is more of a symbolic move indicative of that, since I'm pretty sure Smith doesn't have any guaranteed money left on his contract anyway, but trading a young, cheap player for a way past his prime, much more expensive player is not a good sign of what's to come or of lessons learned. The Eagles cap situation is well documented. Smith was going to be cut if a trade partner couldn't be found. Hurney could have kept Worley and had Smith on a cheaper deal, albeit with some guaranteed money he would be on the hook for im whatever new contract Smith signed. There's something to be said about "getting your guy", but I don't see a single positive thing about this trade for the Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t really pushing for time. It’s basically a way for both teams to dump a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I know Clay was their deep threat last year but my goodness why would they trade anything for Smith let a lone a young talented corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
