Citing a league source, Pete Prisco of CBSsports.com is reporting the Carolina Panthers will “almost certainly” NOT trade receiver Steve Smith, who would’ve been a nice fit for the Bears.
Smith had expressed a desire to be traded to a contender after the Panthers fielded the league’s least productive offense last season. The San Diego Chargers and Baltimore Ravens were said to be the two teams most interested in acquiring the four-time Pro Bowl performer.
