Tyler Naquin Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- There were rumblings when the Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. in 2014 that his strained relationship with quarterback Cam Newton played a role in the decision.Smith and Newton, as well as the organization, have shied away from that topic.But in the NFL Networks Steve Smith: A Football Life that airs Friday at 9 p.m., Carolinas all-time leading receiver and others give credence to the rumblings.We bumped heads for the obvious reason, Smith said in a preview of the show provided to media outlets. Hes the first overall pick and he was a star where he was. I was 31 years old. I had three kids. So we were two people in two different phases of their life.Former Carolina offensive tackle Jordan Gross, who was Smiths teammate with the Panthers and at the University of Utah, said Smiths lack of patience with the first pick of the 2011 draft was a factor in the teams decision to let him go.Really, I think the organization felt like for Cam to flourish they needed Steve to step down, Gross told the NFL Network. It wasnt an easy decision.Emotionally, it was hard for everybody because of what hes done for this organization, the impact hes had in the community, wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl said.dddddddddddd Hes the best Panther to step foot in Bank of America Stadium, but I think everybody understood that he probably needed a change.It was probably good for everybody.Smith, now 37, signed a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens 24 hours later.Every team that called, I looked at their schedule, Smith said. I dont know what week but I knew the Panthers were on that schedule [for the Ravens].Smith told a local radio station it would be blood and guts when he faced his former team. In September of 2014, he had 139 yards receiving and two touchdowns as the Ravens beat Carolina 38-10.Most of Smiths anger was directed at new general manager Dave Gettleman, who ultimately made the decision to let the receiver go. That Smith had no idea the move was coming bothered him the most.He heard the news on WFNZ Radio in Charlotte.If youre going to let me go, just let me know, said Smith, who had 836 catches, 12,197 yards and 67 touchdowns with the Panthers. Dont announce it to someone else.
