Panthers signed WR Steve Smith to a three-year contract extension through 2012.
Financial terms haven't been disclosed, but he'll get a big signing bonus on top of the extension. In a market paying Drew Bennett and Kevin Curtis $5 million-per-season, Smith's old six-year, $28 million deal made him one of the NFL's most underpaid players. His old remaining salaries were $3.15 million (2007), $3.6 million (2008), and $4.2 million (2009).
