Steve Smith wanting out???

Saw this on Rotoworld..."Steve Smith cleared out his Panthers locker and personal suite just prior to the lockout.
Smith is expected to be available for trade following the draft, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's already asked GM Marty Hurney to move him. Turning 32 next month, Smith knows he's not going to any Super Bowls as a member of the Panthers. Speculation has the Patriots interested, once trades are allowed."

I kind of thought he would want out of Carolina considering they won't be in the playoff hunt anytime soon.
