It still was the right decision for Panthers to release Steve Smith

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- If he were healthy, you know Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. would love one last shot at the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night, even if it is a preseason game.

Not because the 37-year-old Smith still holds a grudge against the team that released him after the 2013 season. Carolina’s all-time leading receiver appeared to be over that in January when he congratulated the Panthers on Twitter for reaching the Super Bowl.

Smith would love one more shot at the Panthers simply because he’s a competitor, one of the fiercest and best in Carolina history.
