Is Smith right to question Panthers’ “patchwork” free agency?

The situation regarding former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton remains one of the hot topics in the NFL. He was released earlier this offseason after a glittering spell with the franchise. But it left him with very little starting options elsewhere.

Newton’s prolific ex-teammate with the Carolina Panthers, Steve Smith Sr., recently spoke out on the current situation regarding his old signal-caller on FOX Sports show The Herd.

The 2005 leader in receiving yards, touchdowns, and receptions stated he ‘wasn’t shocked’ by the Carolina Panthers’ decision to release Newton following a complete change in direction following the appointment of head coach Matt Rhule.
