Likely means D-Will is gone when its cheaper to cut him. On a side note, my fiancé never watched a football game in her life before me. Now Tolbert is her favorite because she, "likes to see the chubby kid dance in the endzone." So she's happy and that's good.

More money to RBs, yippee

[PhillyB]

thx for the memories deangelo

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Bonus is $1.5 million FYI

[Ivan The Awesome]

fug you Hurney. This is all your fault.

[PantherAZ]

He's very cheap compared to the other two.

[Miiikey]

Tolbert is one of the most underrated RBs imo. The guy is a bowling ball.

I'm gonna cry tears of joy when Deangelo is released.

[Panthro]

Best, most complete, and cheapest RB on the team

I'm gonna cry tears of joy when Deangelo is released.

For give my "contract ignorance," but is this almost writing on the wall for DeAngelo? Does this make him a likely June 1st cut and save us a little extra?

I'm not too familiar with any contract specifics.

Watch us cut Stewart. I would seriously die laughing at the shitstorm

[PantherAZ]

I doubt he'll be cut this year, but licking up Tolbert for two more years tells me he will be after this season.

[Growl]

This means one of three possible things:

-This move is the harbinger flare of the end of the Deangelo Williams era

-Gettleman is just as retarded and incompetent as Marty

-Richardson is indeed calling the shots

I disagree that he's the best back on the team, or the most complete, or the most/best <insert word here>. Stewart has those accolades locked up, and practices about 25% of the time.

Tolbert is decent at what he does. He's a bowling ball RB, that can definitely pick up the tough yards when needed. He might be even better in a more conventional offense, but I'm not sure yet.
