Stewart can't leave unless we allow him to do it. We can franchise tag him next year, which this year costs 7.7 million for a running back. If we can't get a first for him we keep him and tag him next year and try and trade him again. Bottom line if he wants to go elsewhere I am fine with trading him if we get our first back. But less than that and we can tag him with no problem. After all we didn't even use the tag this year. Why would you draft a guy in the 2nd or third and hope he is great when you can use your first and get what many folks believe may be the best back in the NFL.

I wish we could find a way to keep both, but I'm mostly concerned about the future of this team and holding onto my favorite player (Stewart).

If Deangelo can get 1000 yards next season, then he's cool. If he under-performs and then restructures his contract to reflect his status on the team, then he's cool. If we hold onto him and get rid of the younger, stronger, more versatile running back simply because of the former's contract, then he's not cool with me. I hope that makes sense. I'm a fanboy, I'll admit it.

I don't think money is the issue and I don't think William's contract will prevent us from keeping Stewart. If he doesn't want to share carries or work in our system then he needs to go elsewhere. We are going to use a multi-back system whether he is here or not. I figure Hurney signing Williams long term might be because he knows Stewart doesn't want to be here long term. It is not the first time I have heard rumbling.

I also think we should keep D-Will and Stewart even if we sign Tolbert, a team can play with 3 backs, just look at the Saints or the Pats their running games are working well whth 3 backs. Tolbert can also play Fullback so ..

Neither of those teams have a running back with a contract like Deangelo's. That's the difference. I thought before that maybe Tolbert didn't want 3rd string money after turning down SD, but now I'm starting to think that they just lowballed him too hard.

I find it hard to believe that there is a GM that is cheaper than Hurney, but we'll just have to wait and see.
