What GM's say when they want great value in a trade = We have made no calls trying to trade either Stewart or Williams.

What he did not say "We have gotten no calls from teams interested in Stewart or Williams"

Good move on Hurneys part. Otherwise, this organization is as dumb as a rock and perrenial top ten drafters

We may not be calling teams concerning a trade. However, I guarantee you that other teams WILL BE calling the Panthers to inquire about Stewart in a trade. If they do, I am sure that we would listen.

How did you beat me to this? you type very fast my friend

Some of you will complain over anything. Let's get this out there, you aren't GMs and the bottom line is we just signed a very good, versatile player who took less money to come to Carolina. Yeah, less money. First time that's been said in franchise history I'd bet.

No one is saying that the running game was not bolstered even more by this move. Those that understand the concept of a salary cap and a finite amount of cap space, understand that sometimes you can neglect other positions in favor of bolstering a strength.

You CAN'T have an all-pro at every position.

I will be interested in seeign the numbers for the contract for Tolbert.

However, based on what DWill is getting paid...what Stewart will compand....and what another starting calibre RB (Tolbert) got....that is a DAMN LOT to tie up in one position. Even if the Cap is raised to $130M next season, we would have nearly $20M in the RB position....nearly 1/6 of your total cap.

it is not that you can't afford a signing....it is whether that money could be spent better on other positions of need.

If we trade Stew for a pick, half will be mad.

If we lose Stew for nothing, most will be mad.

If we re-sign Stew in the end, we all rejoice???

Nope....because I personally think it is CRAZY to have 2-3 RB's all making top dollar. That money is better spent improving other positions.

Because that will mean that DW restructured his contract and then we would have an overpowering offense. :D

some were living in a dream world that in a passing league you could pay 2 1st RBs big dollar contracts.

Hurney made his choice. (I personally think he picked the wrong RB but the choice was made). I love Stewart. I think he is the best RB on the team.

I don't not endorse paying him a bigger contract than Williams.....and to be here that is what he should get. Near impossible to trade a RB and get what he is worth. I think we keep him this year....silly to trade a top end RB like him for a 3rd while he is cheap and in his prime. He walks.
