Steve Smith to be traded or cut

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Per Ian Rappaport on Twitter.
The #Panthers are attempting to trade WR Steve Smith, per source. Given his $7M cap number and age (34), seems unlikely.

@evansilva: Sounds like he's going to be cut. RT @RapSheet #Panthers attempting to trade WR Steve Smith. Given $7M cap number& age (34), seems unlikely.

Probably gonna be cut, then picked up by New England. That offense needs a little at ude and Steve is a receiver Brady/BB would like imo

I felt the same way about Urlacher last year and Hester this year. I know deep down it's the right move, but I had so much emotional investment into both players that it makes it hard to accept. I too can't see Smith playing for another team.

Stupid stupid move, you cannot replace a Steve Smith. He is the best player that franchise has had.

Smitty should say it and come to Dallas.

I'm sure Dez is open to the reduction in the amount of double and triple coverage's he sees on a game to game basis.
