Smith-Marsette traded

[abby97]

he Carolina Panthers acquired wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a swap of conditional 2025 seventh-rounders, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Smith-Marsette was originally drafted in the fifth-round in 2021 by the Minnesota Vikings. He has six career regular-season catches.

I feel like he could be a contributor if he’s given some playing time and he actually buys into doing the work.
Thought he was headed towards playing time in Minnesota and then his ego got in the way and he found himself booted out the door.

Piling up stats in the 3rd preseason game is generally seen as creating film for other teams. Great to see it worked for ISM to find a home, and KC to get some value instead of cutting him or practice squading him.

Good for ISM. Pre-season games don't matter, except for guys like ISM trying to land and make a career out of football. His last game could have bought him another year on a roster.

it would be fun to see Carolina beating the Chiefs in the Super Bowl on a game winning touchdown by ISM.

seeing Carolina in the SB would be the most surprising part of that sentence

I was hoping he would stick in KC. I think he has NFL skills in the right spot.

Agree. Having Mahomes as your QB and Reid as your head coach is the best situation any young receiver could have. Bad franchises like Carolina don’t always have the best culture. But hopefully he gets a chance with a team that wants/needs him.

As a Bears fan (They own Carolina's 2024 1st round pick), I want Carolina to suck, but if ISM has a decent year and makes some money, that's a plus.

in exchange for a swap of conditional 2025 seventh-rounders

So, the Panthers could end up not only with ISM, but with a BETTER seventh round pick in 2025? LOL. Essentially a waiver claim. NTTAWWT.

It's up to ISM now as far as his career success. Maybe he's finally found the ideal situation and he'll thrive. If he can't hack it with a 4th team, then chances are that he just doesn't have what it takes. Good luck to him.

He’s an undrafted free agent so still hanging on and showing improvement is a definite positive. Wouldn’t count him out.

He was a 5th rounder. First IOWA WR drafted in quite awhile.

Hard to tell if you’re 80 yrs old or 12 yrs old.

I’ll say it’s much closer to 12.

He is?

He is?

My bad boys! Guess I could have done my homework but for whatever reason thought for sure he was undrafted!

Nice write up and story. Hoping he has a breakout year.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette comes to Carolina with a glowing recommendation

The new wide receiver had Adam Thielen vouching for him, and has made a solid early impression on his new team.

He seems to be finally hitting his stride and figuring things out. He obviously has the physical tools. Still has to perform, there is never much margin for error in the NFL.
