Williams move on after contract up?

IMO, I doubt DeAngelo would make all that Double Trouble stuff up unless he wanted to stay here in Carolina and share the load with Stewart.

is there anything wrong with enjoying yourself wherever you are while your there?

keep in mind that williams is friends with players outside of carolina...mjd, chris johnson, and lendale white all come to mind. i get the feeling that he will be just as outgoing and proactive in another organization as he is in carolina. he seems like the type of guy to make the best of any situation.

The whole Peppers thing really has everyone worried I guess. I doubt anything changed because he knows we need cap room, maybe he's content, and maybe he knows that another 1-2 years of producing at a high level would yield him much more money? I agree with the move from the front office side, if he dominates again next year from game 1-16, then yeah, let's lock this guy up. I think he's a REAL friend with Stewart, I think they like playing here, and I believe Dwill likes sharing carries (besides DWill is obviously THE guy for us, he knows it, everyone does).

Just remember, 2 years ago, Peppers was a great guy too.

Buckner had some interesting comments on Peppers yesterday on the Pack Man show. Said he didn't like Pepp as a person (this in particular suprised me), but respected him on the field. Buck said he even had words with Pepp during one season because Pepp would decide when he wanted to be cordial to others. Buck said Pepp spent most of his time on his cell phone hiding behind a hoody instead of engaging teammates. Not that it's a big deal, just found it interesting.

I think D Will is a team guy to the core. He seems like one guy who appreciates what he has and what he has going for him.

I've thought about this one and its hard...I have never been a fan of resigning backs to long-term deals especially when we have someone like Jonathan Stewart there to replace him. One side of me says let him walk, save the space, and extend Stewart right when Deangelo leaves so we don't have this problem with him. The other side says that I love the duo that we have and would never want Deangelo to be on another team.

if he really wanted to go he would be dumb. our o-line is a strong run-blocking presence and they are young. if he looks at what is best for his long-term career, he'll stay with jordan, otah, and the rest of the gang.

it could be he doesn't want to tie up our front office with all the other stuff we have going on right now (peppers and gross). if that stuff gets resolved soon, look for d-will to resign to a long term contract

He's only had one good year, lets wait and see before we give him a monster contract. Not only that but Stewart very quietly had a pretty damn good rookie season and by as early as 09 I can see him making some noise in regards to pushing for the start. By the time Williams is ready to leave Stewart will still have 2-3 years on his deal and we can likely let him walk rather than have two massive price tags and we'll be right to draft sign a change of pace guy.

Not really true. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry last season, and most likely would have had well over 1,000 yards rushing if he were the starter. That was behind a sorry run-blocking O-line. Much has been made about his improvement but the biggest difference has been opportunity and a better run-blocking O-line. Not to say he hasn't improved, because he has. I just think too many people act like he dropped out of nowhere this past season.
