Since 2008, @Jonathanstewar1 1st year in the @nfl, the #Panthershave produced 9,189 rushing yards, most in the NFL.

Bill Voth ‏@billvoth

So #Panthers can keep Williams/Stewart for at least four more years. Tolbert has contract through '15. That QB can run a bit, too.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart signed a five-year extension worth $36.5 million and a max of $42.5, including $22.5 million guaranteed.
