Superman Steve Smith Gets Paid......FINALLY!!!!!!!!

Steve Smith and the Carolina Panthers agreed on a six-year deal that will pay the WR $45 million dollars. The contract is not backloaded, and Smith will become the 2nd highest paid wideout in the NFL, behind Marvin Harrison.

It's about friggin' time that this guy got paid. The Panthers would be one of the worst teams in the NFL if it wasn't for Steve Smith constantly bailing out Jake Delhomme over-and-over again with his acrobatic catches and non-stop highlight reel touchdowns. He was only making $4.5 million + in his current deal, and WR's such as Kevin Curtis and Drew Bennett would have been making more than him in their current deals. Those two couldn't hold Steve Smith's jock. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say, when healthy, Steve Smith is the best wide receiver in the NFL. Yeah, I said it. Take it from a guy who bet on the Carolina Panthers pretty much every single week last year. No WR means more to their team, than Steve Smith means to the Panthers. He's that good. And if he's able to stay healthy this year, he's going to have another monster season.....touchdowns, yards, the whole friggin' sha-bang. It's a good thing Steve Smith is my keeper. Now he'll get to camp on time, stretch those hammies, and get back into the swing of things. It's safe to say that I'll 100% defend my fantasy football title this year. I'm glad my boy got paid. There are too many scrub WR's making too much paper....and this guy is an absolute stud. He's not a punk either, which makes this even more rewarding for fans who want to see a classy player get the respect he deserves. Sure, he might have some exotic endzone celebrations....but he's not fathering a child every 3 weeks, shooting clubs, or rolling his tit$ off on Ecstasy. He's not selling crack, or killing people (a la Ray Lewis). He's the kind of guy the NFL needs to make an example out of, in the right way. See you in September, Steve.
