Interesting note from the Charlotte Observer. Steve Smith would be paid $3 million by the Panthers if released, which is why he's refusing to restructure his contract for any potential trade suitors. So, unlikely to be traded, panthers will still release him for the cap savings, and he would be likely be fairly cheap considering he's already getting $3 mill from the panthers. "Because there is no offset language in Smith’s contract, he could collect the $3 million from the Panthers if he’s released, in addition to whatever money another team is willing to pay." http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/03/10/4756470/panthers-smith-divorce-close.html#.UyCKKfldWBI Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/03/10/4756470/panthers-smith-divorce-close.html#.UyCKKfldWBI#storylink=cpy
