Although details of the new deal are hard to come by, Schefter's report goes farther than others. The 28-year-old Smith had three years left on a six-year, $27 million contract. He was scheduled to make $3.1, $3.6 and $4.2 million over the next three seasons, but now will make significantly more. One certainty? Smith is happy. "I would like to retire here and be the first or second Panther in the Hall of Fame," he said after the extension was announced.
