The Facts:
Steve Smith was asked Monday if the embattled Jarrett was due for a coming-out party after his disappointing rookie season was followed by an off-season charge of driving by impaired. "You know, the party session is actually over. This is the NFL," Smith said. "You make plays. You're here to play football. You do the party scene at your own discretion, but on Sundays, we're here to play football. If you can't play football, you won't be playing with the Panthers or any NFL team."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Panthers picked Jarrett in the second round last year, but he struggled to adjust to the NFL, never cracked the starting lineup, played in just seven games and caught six passes for 73 yards with no touchdowns. Then, when he reported last month for the team's offseason conditioning, Jarrett was arrested for DUI. The team added Muhsin Muhammad this offseason, in part to provide a mentor for Jarrett; but the presence of Muhammad and fellow newcomer D.J. Hackett could make it difficult for Jarrett to get on the field.
