Coach Ron Rivera insists no team made an offer or even asked what it would take to land Steve Smith in a trade ahead of Thursday's deadline.
The Panthers did get a text on Smith, but it was more along the likes of, "Is 89 available?" Rivera maintains the Panthers had "no serious conversations" with other teams about Smith or DeAngelo Williams. "All these rumors, especially the one with Steve Smith, was as far-fetched as it gets," said Rivera. "That one was crazy and unfair."

With a 14 team group I play him every week he gives consistent numbers, I would like a touch down or two.

Julio Jones and Denarius Moore. I still sometimes play him at flex, but Newton has been playing like doo doo as far as getting him touchdowns.

As a panthers fan, It would be retarded to trade steve. He defined our franchise for years and is still putting up numbers.
