Mike Tolbert mentioned as a possible FA? Eh?

[TylerVagyler]

I expect Goodson to be cut even if we don't sign Tolbert.

[Real Emotional Trash]

You get the honor of the first repost on the new forum!

Considering the topic title lacked mention of Tolbert, I'm not exactly sure how I was to be aware of that unless you expect me to enter a topic with a ridiculous title that questions whether we'd trade DeAngelo Wiliams.

It's not that hard "to see where he fits" if you dump Goodson.

Not that great a stretch given he's in Rivera's doghouse.

Well, I would imagine Tolbert would view himself, at the very minimun, at part of a two headed attack. It would really surprise me if he wants to be a 3rd back, with 2 studs in front of him. He wouldn't get many carries at all. Also, Cam is basically one of our goal line backs, so that would limit him even further.

True! Ive seen Brockel many times i imagine if we sign Tolbert he'll take Brocks spot. Did we resign Brockel?

We tendered Brockel and Stanford.

Yeah if this turns out to be true, it doesn't bode well for Stewart and the Panthers. Pretty similar with Stewart probably being quicker and Tolbert being stronger, not enough to be a change of pace between each other.

Tolbert is a bruiser of a runner and took away my Ryan Mathews TD's in fantasy because he is about as good of a goal line back as any out there. Could play sort of a H-Back role pretty well here with his pass catching ability and blocking out of the backfield. At the right price he'd be a steal and hopefully open up some holes for Stew.

How can you take someone seriously who reports Mike Goodson as part of the "trio"? Dude played ONE game last year, and he was healthy.

Valid, but what he wants and what he can get may be two different things.

[Dpantherman]

Really? I consider Cam a more solid part of that trio than Goodson.

Except that he's QB.

I get what you mean, but Cam's #1 priority is passing the ball. His running is a luxury.

[Dpantherman]

Tolbert also is a factor in the pass game, something that Stewart also does.

[Brokenbad]

Do you clowns not realize that he is a former Charger?

No wonder there are talks of him in Carolina.

[bleys]

They wouldn't ask him for discretion if they had no interest.

Signs are pointing toward the trade of Stewart, sadly.

I agree.. writing is all over the wall, even if it's one speculated article... Stew, pack your bags bud!

I know, I know, but when anybody outside of Carolina thinks 'Carolina 3 best runners', does anybody say Goodson?

I'd really love Tolbert though. Just not sure we can pay his price.

of course, Goodson was a playmaker when he wasn't fumbling the ball...

[Dpantherman]

Tolbert isn't going to get big money, RB market is sour these days.
