We didn’t like the Daryl Worley-for-Torrey Smith trade when it was first announced last month.

After all, Worley is only 23 years old and the Eagles were going to release Smith, who is 29, anyway. The Panthers may have been able to get Smith at a cheaper price without giving up one of their more promising young defensive backs.

While there’s still a lot not to love about the trade, today’s news makes it look a whole lot better.

Early this morning, Worley was Tasered and arrested during a confrontation with Philadelphia police near the Eagles’ facility.

Now we’re learning more about him.

According to a report by Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, a source with the Panthers says the team was concerned about his focus and commitment. He also noted that Worley liked the “nightlife.”

Given the report that Worley was passed out in a vehicle blocking traffic at 6 in the morning, it’s not hard to imagine he was out late partying before the incident took place.

Smith is not going to solve all of Carolina’s problems at wide receiver, but general manager Marty Hurney deserves credit for killing two birds with one stone.

Bump our grade up to a B.
