...deal the first-rounder, 22nd overall (from New England), to Carolina, without a first-rounder right now, for one of its backs. Interesting. If it's Jonathan Stewart, I'd do it. I'm a little worried about the injury bug biting DeAngelo Williams.

Is it just me, or is that a bit insulting? A late 1st round pick for one of two of arguably the top 5 RB's in the NFL right now? I would hope the Panthers would never deal one of them for a pick that crappy, unless someone just incredible is left on the board at that point.

Nobody trades first round picks for players that play a position that has the shortest career lifespan anymore

But teams do pick running backs in the first round...and with a guy like Stewart who has a low amount of mileage and still a high amount of upside, a team would be crazy not to consider it if they had several other draft picks and running back was a big area of need.

OK, you know what JStew and DWill can do... let's just hypothetically say we did do what King is suggesting and got a first round pick... what do you get with that? An unknown commodity that may or may not be a good player who most certainly would be an inexperience and untested rookie... vs. a top-3 back in DWill or a top-10 back in JStew... King is a dumbass.

injury bug? deangelo has stayed injury-free for the vast majority of his career. if anything, j-stew is the one to be worried about.

Stewart doesn't miss games. Last time he missed a game was his freshman year at Oregon.

I would take a first round pick for either player, though I think Stewart has more upside to the Panthers (younger, hasn't missed a game yet, longer time left on his contract).

Remember, you are going to have to pay DeAngelo when his contract expires. Why not parlay that into another first round pick and get the services of another stud RB for a few years on the cheap?

      Hunter Renfrow: A health challenge led to time away from football

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Everyone wants to know what happened to Hunter Renfrow. He went from the Pro Bowl in 2021 to an afterthought in 2022 and 2023 to out of the league in 2024.  Renfrow ow is attempting a comeback with the Panthers. “It’s just trying to get back, trying to get healthy, trying to do something I love,” Renfrow told Darin Gantt of the team website when asked about a year out of the game. “I enjoyed other parts of life. We had our second daughter, so enjoying that and just wanting to make sure if I’m going to come back and give my time and attention to something that I was going to be all in on it.” Renfrow, 29, revealed that he has dealt with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, which left him with weight loss, fatigue and high fever. It’s a reason he did not play last season. Instead, Renfrow spent a year consulting with doctors and getting the condition under control. “It kicked my butt pretty good,” Renfrow said. “Last year, I fluctuated in weight. I went down to 150 pounds. I had like seven straight days of 103-degree fevers. It’s tough to play when you’re not feeling great.” He now weighs 187 with a goal of a playing weight of 185. “It’s a weird feeling. It makes you grateful for the times that you do feel good,” Renfrow said. “It makes you grateful for the opportunities that you’ve had, and when you feel like you’ve been blessed with some skill to go out there and perform, it makes you not want to waste the opportunity that you have. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to come back and play.” In five seasons, Renfrow has 269 receptions for 2,884 yards and 17 touchdowns. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/hunter-renfrow-a-health-challenge-led-to-time-away-from-football

      I am feeling optimistic for sure. But at this point in time in Panthers fandom talk is cheap and seeing is believing.
