  • Report: Panthers spurning WR Smith inquiries

    FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports teams are calling to gauge interest in a Steve Smith trade, but the Panthers have turned down all inquiries so far.
    Interesting. Smith expressed frustration with the organization's aimlessness after last week's loss. On pace for 1,350 yards, the 33-year-old still has difference-making ability as a true No. 1 receiver and is highly respected around the league. Carolina has already paid Smith's $10 million signing bonus, however, and the veteran is owed just a prorated $1 million in salary this year and $3.75 million in 2013. The Panthers have no one in the pipeline ready to take his place as Cam Newton's go-to receiver and double-team drawer. Multiple sources inside the Panthers organization tell Profootballtalk's Darin Gantt that a major trade for Smith or DeAngelo Williams is unlikely because it has to be approved by owner Jerry Richardson with Brandon Beane as interim general manager.
