Steve Smith adds to mystery about future
“Here’s all I have to say about it,” the team’s all-time leading receiver said. “I am working out and doing all the things as I am a Carolina Panther. That’s where I am. And I’ll continue to move forward until I am told otherwise.”
Asked if he could see himself playing for another organization in 2014, Smith was equally evasive.
“It’s a business and I understand that, and ultimately decisions aren’t up to me,” the 13-year veteran said. “I’m a player. At the end of the day, if a team decides to move on, I have to either accept that or I go sit at home and cry about it. So we’ll see.”
“Like every offseason they are making moves and making decisions that are going to be, moving forward, for the betterment of the team,” Smith said “Those decisions and those conversations, I don’t know all of them. I’m not in the meeting rooms. But we talked about some things. And what we talked about it is what we talked about.”
Smith could have ended all speculation and said Gettleman assured him he would be on the Carolina roster in 2013.
He didn’t.
That leads me to believe there’s a better than 50 percent chance that Smith won’t be back at Carolina.
Then again, Smith likes to play head games with the media, so maybe this is one of those times.
Either way, the mystery continues.
