Head Coach Ron Rivera would not say Tuesday whether the Panthers have received inquiries about wide receiver Steve Smith. He also didn't rule out a trade. Rivera told reporters that Smith "wants to know what the offense is going to look like" under new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, although that will be difficult to say until the Panthers acquire a new quarterback. Very few signs point to Jimmy Clausen having legitimate support in Carolina. Source: Joe Person: Twitter.com
New England......they have the picks to make this a possibility. And they could use Smith to get them over the hump.
