Panthers wideout Steve Smith is from the Los Angeles area, and would reportedly love to play close to home again. The Chargers are reportedly at least somewhat interested.
Consider Philip Rivers one of those interested Chargers.
“Bring it on,” Rivers said with a laugh when asked about Smith on Jim Rome is Burning Wednesday. “We have a great deal of weapons, and I certainly appreciate each and every one of them, but any chance you can add a guy of that caliber, I’m all for it.”
Chargers G.M. A.J. Smith is a guy that relies on the draft, but he’s not afraid to trade when necessary. (Think Chris Chambers.)
San Diego’s interest in Smith could depend on how the CBA works out. If we go back to 2010 rules and the team can easily keep Malcom Floyd with a restricted tender, then there won’t be a huge need for Smith.
