Although there’s been speculation for months that wide receiver Steve Smith wants out of Charlotte, there had not been any tangible evidence that’s true. Now, that’s changed.
221Pro Football Weekly’s Eric Edholm reports that Smith has cleaned out his locker and the game-day suite his family uses at Bank of America Stadium. Edholm also reports that Smith requested a trade prior to the lockout.
Just so you know the background, Edholm has been working on a book with Smith for several years and has a good relationship with the player and those around him. Smith hasn’t made any public statements, but I have no doubt this report is accurate and very significant.
