Steve Smith reportedly broke his arm in an adult flag football game. Physical activity like that could violate his contract with the Panthers possibly being able to recoup some money.
Panthers Not Going After Steve Smith’s Money After He Fractured His Arm In Flag Football
Regardless of whether they can or not, the Panthers are not pursuing the issue, according to Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com.
Their thinking is simple: The damage is done and it’s not all that bad. Smith won’t be ready for the start of training camp, but he should be ready for the start of the regular season. Other than roster bonuses and things like that, players are paid over the course of the 17-week (the bye is included) season.
I imagine Smith won’t be playing in any more flag football games -- and he won’t miss any regular season games -- so it’s probably not worth pursuing.
