Jonathan Stewart Trade Idea

[carolina-chuck]

If Hurney was smart he'd try and convince the Colts they need an every down back like Stewart to support Luck next year. They give us their 2012 2nd and they get Stewart. Their running game is going to be atrocious next year again with Addai and Donald Brown. Nobody is going to respect that run game. If you put Stewart back there he'll give you 1200 yards and 10-15 TDs easily as the feature back.

For those of you homers that think Hurney is going to resign Jonathan Stewart and we're going to keep DWill AND Stewart AND Tolbert...its not happening. Stewart is going to be the best RB on the free agent market next year. If we were going to resign him it'd be done already...he's gone. Trade him now to get something for him, let Tolbert take over his role, and actually get our money's worth out of Deangelo Williams. So far Williams has been paid a king's ransom and did essentially nothing last year to warrant it.

I'm 100% on you with this. Whoever think Stewart wants to come back next year is wishful thinking.

It comes down to how much we want him to stay and whether we want to pay him either on a long term deal or the franchise tag. This year it is 7.7 million.

God forbid DWill gets hurt or Tolbert we have nobody .....Stewie will be here this season. God this feels like groundhog day.

only if they package peyton manning with it

[Harris Aballah]

I say let the colts suffer. keep him for one more year and if he wants to leave after that let him. but I think he'll stay, cuz theres a future in Carolina that will nuture his and any of our other rb's careers for years to come. Quantity and quality. Or go work your ass off in a struggling program somewhere else. And see how long you last with a crap qb and crap line.

[stirs]

Colts are in complete rebuilding mode, that usually means young.

Correct. Denver is best spot because they are just the opposite. They have a small window and have to win now

[j2sgam]

Stewart will be re-signed by the end of March 2013, he will not hit free agency. Teh FO will do what they need to to make this happen, watch what I tell you... He is one of the core players, a proven back with little wear. He has quite a few more years left and most will be in the same jersey...

I will gladly eat all the crow yous can feed me. But I am much happier servin it up...

[Brandon]

Why on earth would we trade Stew? It's been made pretty clear we have every intention of resigning him.

[Qu1million]

1200 10-15 tds, why we would we trade again

[Stumpy]

God forbid DWill gets hurt or Tolbert we have nobody .....Stewie will be here this season. God this feels like groundhog day.

God forbid Smitty gets hurt, we have nobody...

God forbid Gamble gets hurt, we have nobody...

God forbid Gross gets hurt, we have nobody...

God forbid Kalil gets hurt we have nobody...

We are the only team in the league that has an All-Pro talent backing up an All-Pro talent at any position. And of we cannot keep both (which I think we can) why would you not get something in return for one of them rather than letting them walk?

I don't want to trade Stewie, and I think we can re-sign him. But, I don't get this argument that we can't let him go because what if DWill gets hurt?

Then we would be in the exact same shape as any other team that loses their starting RB.

Hey remember when our starting back went down and we still made the NFCCG?

Remember when GB lost their starter and won the SB?

[megadeth078]

No solitary pick is worth giving up Stewart. Hell, since 1st rounders are out of the equation, I don't even think multiple picks would cut it for me. I'd rather lose him to Free Agency than give him up without a fight. Shame on you guys for valuing picks over your own players. You guys are just as fickle and shallow as bandwagoners.

Hey remember when our starting back went down and we still made the NFCCG?

NFCCG isn't the best example considering we lost that game because we literally ran out of running backs lol.

[bigdog10]

I am a huge D-Will fan. Always have and always will be.

With that being said, you cut D-Will after the season before letting Stewart walk or trading him. This offense is not only catered around cam for him to succeed but it is also catered to the Stewart's strenghts (moreso than D-Wills).

I'd love to see them both in the backfield together for another 4-years, but the panthers would be making a huge mistake if they allowed Stewart out of this city for nothing.

[panthersphan]

(If Hurney has it in mind that we're not going to end up keeping Stew) I would definitely take the Colts' 2nd Round Pick for Stew.
