Well I guess we're stuck with him now... Just hope he can stay healthy and not be the distraction that everyone in Carolina said he was becoming. So much for getting a player for the future...

Agreed, everyone seems so hyped about getting a big name receiver but forgetting this guy is 35 yrs old. His best years aren't just behind him, they're five plus years behind him. Like the idea of getting a veteran to help develop some of the younger guys but Steve smith doesn't seem like the mentor type, panthers gm said he was a distraction more than anything else last year

From everything I've heard about Steve smith since his release the word distraction is thrown around more than mentor. Edelman is a pure slot receiver with a different skill set then what u want in a number 2. However, you are right in that the best plan is a vet to tutor a rookie but which one

Only so much space on a football field, seems like the number 3 receiver position is already a race between jones, brown, malette, what we need is a number two and I don't think Steve smith is the answer

Ozzie is the best gm in pro football but everyone makes mistakes. Would rather see us get a receiver for the future instead of a stop gap for one season and then having to go thru this again next yr

All these reports about pursuing Steve smith. Gigantic waste of money to bring in a guy who has optimistically one season left. Wouldn't be surprised if he only played a few games before taking an injury and sitting out the rest of the season. Look at how much Clark and stokely did for us last year....
