Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith is believed to want out and reports indicate that he would like to be traded to the Raiders, Chargers or Ravens. San Diego's interest, according to people with knowledge of the situation, can be characterized as monitoring and wait-and-see. The Chargers used a similar approach with safety Bob Sanders in March, letting other teams court him before making him an offer. Teams are not allowed to conduct player business during the ongoing NFL lockout, but the Panthers were known to be shopping Smith prior to the league's shutdown on March 11.
