The Facts:
It's not clear if Smith will be a Panther this season. But he went to the house of Panthers owner Jerry Richardson late last season and asked to be traded. Multiple sources confirm it. A Panther since he was drafted in 2001, Smith was entitled to ask for a trade. A source -- singular this time -- says his teams of choice are San Diego and Baltimore.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
So wrote Observer staffer Tom Sorensen, who went on to suggest that while Smith is still capable of being an elite receiver, he was not elite, as a receiver or as a teammate, last season. At 32, he will not be elite much longer. But he is certainly capable of being a solid contributor in an established offense like the Chargers. New HC Ron Rivera has been vague when discussing Smith's future in Carolina, but Fantasy Football owners can expect to gain considerable clarity on his future once the lockout is lifted.
