J-Stew Contract Restructure Details

[Biggdaddi1022]

The breakdown of Jonathan Stewart’s new contract was released today, and the running back stands to make a nice chunk of guaranteed money, paired with even more if he hits certain performance metrics. Stewart was due to make $8.25m in 2017. That number has now dropped to $6.175m, but is 100% fully guaranteed, a change that I do not foresee many fans disagreeing with. This money will come in the form of a large $2.5m roster bonus that is paid tomorrow, March 28th, coupled with singing and workout bonuses.

In 2018, the base value of his contract is just $3.75m dollars, and technically none of it is 100% guaranteed other than his pro-rated signing bonus of $1.1m (a $550k hit in 2018) from the previous year. He will make a cool million bucks if he is on the roster the first day of the 2018 league year, and a $1.9m salary in 2018.

Stewart gets a Singing bonus?  Didn't know he could sing.  :)

[L-TownCat]

I knew he played piano but he sings too?

Dude is truly blessed with talent.

@Davidson Deac II damnit

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Can we just take a step back and think what it would be like to get paid $2.5 million dollars in one day? It's quite mind boggling for me to even imagine.

I'll bet somebody already put this in the existing Jonathan Stewart Signs An Extension thread.

:P

He's actually a good musician from what I hear.

J-Stew is going to be a Panther 4 Life. And I'm good with it. Great dude and player for us over the years.

Guess that $2.5 million singing bonus is for the halftime shows he'll be singing for soon.

Still a lot of damn guaranteed money for a 30 year old running back, at least this year.

Bless his heart!

Stewart is  better than a lot of 22-year-old running backs and I think the best running back over 30 right now. The dude missed three games last year, which isn't the end of the world. 

And I still say had he been drafted by a team where he was the guy and that had a real offensive line he'd have made a lot of probowls.

people would speak very differently about him. When he's on the field our offense just plays a lot different-- much more of an attitude. 

I also believe he has a lot of years left.

Im pretty sure he had around 5.5MM in dead money. Meaning we only had to pay $750,000 more to keep one of the most underrated RB's on our roster versus cutting him. Good deal.

I know he's been dinged but he is very productive.  Don't give poo about age.  Decent contract and wish him well
