What happens to Jstew this offseason?

[OneBadassCat]

Stewart is on his way to being the all time leading rusher for the team. No way in hell should we trade him. He has reached the point now where he is more valuable than Williams. Regardless if you think DWIll is better than him at the moment. JStew could be a premier RB for another 6 years and still be an effective bowling ball past that point.

[Kevin Greene]

I know a lot of us don't want to think about it bc he is such a beast, but what is really the teams plan regarding him. He deserves starter money, all day long, but are the Panthers really willing to invest $100 mil in RB's alone?(especially with so many other needs on the team). Hate to think of getting rid of Stew, but what is the possibility he gets traded this offeason? And for what?

Edit: Forgot to mention he only has one year remaining on his rookie deal after this season.

They both should/could have been signed on Dwills $43 million extension

100 million in running backs? :lol:

Let's try and remember only 21 million of Dwill's contract is guaranteed, this isn't baseball. He'll likely be gone in 3 years and never see 20 million of the extension.

[Kevin Greene]

And JStew who has never taken a feature back workload (unlike DWill) for a full season will be rewarded should he stay healthy this year and next.

[pantherclaw]

Wwouldn't be shocked if hurney extends him before next season.

Am I the only one that thinks D-Will would re-structure his deal and free up some cap room for Stew?

[carpanfan96]

The cap figures will increase next year. Some of you people seem to be under the impression that cap figures are a static figure from year to year. Remember the league has a new TV contract coming up in the near future that will inevitably give cap figures a HUGE boast.

The CBA states on future contracts that the expected cap for next season will be around 5 million more then it is now. Same for the season after, the new TV deal will kick in during the 2014 season.

I was thinking this too, either way... they both want to play for the panthers and we will get it done.

[Guest Irv]

at this moment im more worried about sunday then jstew resigning. When we get to that point ill give it some serious thought.

[Eazy-E]

I'm confused. He is not a free agent until 2013.

[Razzy]

It is a strange situation. I feel like Stew doesn't want to leave this team, but I don't know him as a person and when it comes down to it football is a business. I wouldn't blame Stew if he leaves for a big paycheck, time in the NFL is short especially for a RB.

Hopefully, Marty can work some more of his restructuring magic this offseason and make room for him. He deserves the money.

well with the way RB's are drafted now we could probably draft a good back in the 2nd or 3rd rounds in the 2013 draft..not saying i don't like stewart but it's a possiblity

[TheOracle]

i think he will want to stay with DeAngelo and this team. I think he will take what we can afford to give him.

Odds are he'll want to go to Seattle since he was born in the State of Washington and he went to college at Oregon...especially since the Panthers likely won't be able to pay him, or maybe they will, but I doubt it'll matter.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't want to go "home" after this contract is up.

i don't know how this mentality has been propagated but it's totally false.

what it's not possible that we can't afford to overpay two RB's and take the cheaper 2nd round RB a couple years down the road?
