I believe he will definitely win the starting job for Carolina this year and you guys are gonna be happy with what he brings to the table. The Niners would have loved to have him back, but after the season he expressed to the coaching staff that he wanted to be a starter. They knew that they were going to bring back Goldson w the franchise tag or a contract at that point so they mutually decided to part ways. He has the potential to be an allpro if your pass rush can create some pressure on the front end and not leave your DBs hanging… Good Luck Reggie, you will be missed.

Watch highlights of the Nners game against the Bengals to see his late 4th qtr INT. Sealed the game. Reggie is sometimes late to the ball but when he gets there he brings it.

Hopefully we can get a corner like Asante Samuel in a trade and then we will be set in the secondary.

Always watch the UC alums. Hope he can take the next step.

A cheap option and he is better than almost any safety they have. (Besides Chung)

Good Luck Mr Smith!

I’m a Niner fan and I’m sad to see him go. I wasn’t too worried about losing Dashon Goldson (pro-bowler) to free agency if it were to happen because I think Reggie would be able to come in and replace him decently. It will not surprise me at all if Smith goes on to become a very good, if not pro-bowl type player for the Panthers.

Smith has the talent to be a starting safety, but has been stuck behind two really good safeties on the 49ers. As a 49er fan, I was hoping he would return, but I understand that having a chance to compete for the starting spot would make Carolina pretty appealing. This looks like another good off season move by Carolina. They will clearly be a team to watch this season.

Good signing Hurney and Rivera.

Obviously the Niners see him as expendable but he’s a good guy & best of luck.

Solid special teams guy and has the tools to be a starting safety in the right system. And can lay a hat on someone coming over the middle as good as anyone. Good luck in Carolina Reggie!

Always thought high of him and he always has shown promise. Best of luck Reggie!

Sad to see him go and was hoping they’d sign him back, but I know he wants to start. Carloina fans will be happy with this signing.

I don’t know if Smith or Nakamura are the answers at free safety, but in my opinion that’s the biggest question on the Panthers’ defense.

This guy can be a play maker if he stays healthy, He had Goldson (a pro-bowler ) on the bench last year until he got hurt… good luck to him..
