Torrey Smith to Panthers a bargain compared to other free-agent WR deals

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The $5 million a year wide receiver Torrey Smith will count against the salary cap seemed like a lot on Friday when the Carolina Panthers traded starting cornerback Daryl Worley to Philadelphia for him.

Particularly, when you consider, Smith hadn't caught more than 36 passes in any of the last three seasons between San Francisco and Philadelphia.

It looks like a bargain now when you look at the deals top free-agent wide receivers, who have accomplished less, got in free agency.

Chicago gave Jacksonville's Allen Robinson, coming off an ACL injury, a three-year $42 million deal.
