Panthers | Torrey Smith set free Sun Sep 1, 02:41 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Torrey Smith was released Sunday, Sept. 1, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Smith had already taken a pay cut, but that wasn't enough to keep him on the roster to open the season. He should get a call as a street free agent somewhere during the season after injuries thin some wide receiver groups. |

Panthers | Two cleared to practice Sat Jul 27, 06:54 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee) and LB Jermaine Carter (knee) were removed from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 27, and participated in practice.
| Footballguys view: Smith is fighting for a roster spot after taking a pay cut, so getting off of PUP is very important for his prospects. Carter is in a battle for playing time replacing Thomas Davis, who is now with the Chargers. |

Carolina Panthers WR Torrey Smith (knee), LB Jermaine Carter (knee) and LB Brandon Chubb (knee) will start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, according to general manager Marty Hurney.
| Footballguys view: Smith already had to take a pay cut to stay on the roster. If he has trouble getting or staying on the practice field, it might be curtains for him. |

Panthers | Pay cut for Torrey Smith Thu May 30, 10:18 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Torrey Smith has agreed to take a $2 million pay cut, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Smith was on the books for $5 million in 2019 with zero in dead money. Now he's going to make $2 million as a base salary with another $1 million in bonuses. Smith can still get by a defense in a hurry but likely won't be more than a deep threat for the Panthers offense in 2019. |

Panthers | Torrey Smith will be back Thu Mar 7, 08:23 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Torrey Smith's option for 2019 has been exercised, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Alrighty then. Smith is due $5 million in 2019, but the Panthers could still eventually cut the veteran receiver with no cap charge. In 11 games last season, Smith caught only 17 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. |

Check back on his status later in the week to see if he can practice. Rookie D.J. Moore will continue as the no.2 WR for the Panthers while Smith is out. |

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles WR Torrey Smith was officially acquired by the Carolina Panthers Wednesday, March 14, in exchange for CB Daryl Worley.

Ravens | Ravens open to reunion with Torrey Smith? Fri Mar 2, 12:32 AM
The Baltimore Ravens' shopping for a wide receiver would be 'very likely' to include Philadelphia Eagles WR Torrey Smith, if his option is declined by the club. A reunion between the two sides is being considered a 'very real possibility.'
| Footballguys view: Smith is due $5 million this year with zero remaining in dead money on his deal. The Eagles are likely to move on from the veteran receiver as they're in penny pinching mode after winning the Super Bowl. The Ravens could bring back Smith for a reasonable price, and he could help a WR corps that needs all the help it can get. |
