As Day 2 of the NFL’s free-agency period began to unfold, Carolina Panthers receiver Steve Smith and Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis were waiting to find out whether they might be traded or released.

Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the five-time Pro Bowl pick “is not going to play for the Panthers next year, I know that. I just don’t know when that transaction is going to take place.”

Fox said he expected Smith to get cut, although Carolina was trying to trade him.

Revis, meanwhile, was in a similar situation with the Bucs, who got him from the Jets last year for a 2013 first-round draft pick and a 2014 fourth-round choice.

If Revis was still on Tampa Bay’s roster by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, he was going to be due a $1.5 million bonus, and the Bucs would need to upgrade that 2014 draft pick to a third-rounder. The Bucs added a top-flight cornerback Tuesday, giving a four-year contract to former Titans player Alterraun Verner.

The Browns added a cornerback, Isaiah Trufant, who was a backup with the Jets last season, a day after agreeing to terms with safety Donte Whitner of the 49ers and linebacker Karlos Dansby of the Cardinals.

Elsewhere, Rams guard Chris Williams signed a four-year contract with the Bills, while Bucs linebacker Dekoda Watson went to the Jaguars.

In other moves:

—Yet another pass rusher became available when defensive end Chris Clemons was released by the Super Bowl champion Seahawks in a salary-cutting move. Clemons was due to make $7.5 million in base salary next season. He is the fourth member of Seattle’s defense to be released or sign with another club as a free agent.

—Running back Pierre Thomas agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Saints.
