Can't figure out the Bears. By far their best pass catcher.

Carolina is reported to have given up a late draft pick and a player to be named later...

Could that player be Steve Smith?

Then Carolina would be giving up their best pass catcher. The rumor now is the Bears want Roy Williams. Not sure what I think about that. Between him and Cutler you never know who is going to show up week to week

Could that player be Steve Smith?

Someone tweeted last night that it wasn't Steve Smith!

To think we could have had him for a 2nd last year...

#Bears trade Greg Olsen to #Panthers for 3rd rd pick. No other player involved. Teams talked players and it turned into 82 for the pick.

Throughout the offseason, speculation swirled about the future of Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith.

Yet one day after meeting with general manager Marty Hurney and coach Ron Rivera, Smith repeated what he told his bosses: He plans to remain with Carolina this season and beyond.

"For me, I'm always going to be a Panther," Smith said Thursday from Charlotte. "They took a shot on me when I was coming from nowhere and now I'm going into my 11th year in the league. This will be where I retire, whether that's five years from now or one year from now."
