Panthers Agree With Tolbert On 4 Year Deal

[Floppin]

yea leverage as in, we dont need you that much so we can only offer a fraction of what other teams might be able to offer.

Well sort of, but more like, "we're not going to obscenely over pay for you like we did with Williams because we have a decent back behind you, but we'll offer a competitive rate, take it or leave it."

[PantherBrew]

Nope it was 7.7 this year and will likely inch up next year.

Jeez I already edited it. Jerk face ;)

either way, keeping him will be tough unless he just loves it here or nobody else finds him valuable

[YoungPanthers89]

Lets get some special formations going

[cdandi1]

doubt that, likely one of the RB's would be a TE, and the one RB position would be Stew and D-Will interchanging

so you're saying its possible...lol

[PantherBrew]

This smells like a big draft day trade.

So far. We are only bringing in lower level first rounders.

But I think this is for leverage on stew. We have to exercise an option for Tolbert after this season.

Very peculiar.

Lighten up Francis.

Stewart would net us a 3rd rounder at most. Teams just do not give high draft picks for RBs, especially used RBs. That being said, I bet we take that 3rd rounder... Stew and Tolbert are basically the same stylistically. No use having both of them on the roster. If I were Hurney, I'd trade DWill, and re-sign Stew, but I know that won't happen.

Not true at all. He was a first rounder to begin with who has outperformed his contract. I could see Fox or Ryan giving up a first for him. Particularly next year's.

[Donald LaFell]

we're really going to be like a college team if we keep all 3.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Cinci needs a runningback, just sayin'

[nctarheel0619]

D-Wills contract is front loaded. After this year his contract won't have that much money left on it. We could release him, not saying its not entirely possible but I could see it happening.

[Neylus]

That rediculous d-will deal. Stewy is the man and now we can't afford him. All I can do is shake my head.

[SOJA]

also Hurney is a stubborn bastard when it comes to guys he drafted. Example a) Clausen (reports are Hurney still thinks he could be good- I think Gantt said that) I HIGHLY doubt he is looking to move one of his better draft picks and a first rounder no less in Stew

......but maybe I'm just reassuring myself
