Former Panthers WR Steve Smith has agreed to a three year deal with the Baltimore Ravens according to this tweet by ESPN



Smith was released by the Carolina Panthers on Thursday, and Dave Gettleman, the Panthers GM Released this statement to wsoctv.com:

"When I took this position I knew that difficult decisions would have to be made along the way. To move on from a storied veteran player is probably the most difficult of all. A decision not to be taken lightly. However, after much thought I feel very strongly it's the right one. As I've stated many times, all decisions I make will be in the long-term best interest of the Carolina Panthers, Steve has been an important part of this team since I have been head coach and before my arrival,” says head coach Ron Rivera. “I have coached against him and have had the benefit of having him on the Panthers. He is a great competitor with Hall of Fame worthy statistics and has made a great contribution to our community. I wish him nothing but the best."

Having a ProBowl receiver is a big gain for the Ravens, and a sure loss for the Panthers. But if the GM is really looking long term for his team, there is a possibility that he has something that we don't know about
