Why is Jonathan Stewart Still on this Team?

[jdpanther5]

I've posted enough epistles on this (as have several others), so I'll be brief.

$4.5m to keep, $18m to cut or trade.

My point.. if he is "so valuable"  then why the hell cant we trade him.   damn id rather have the roster spot and some vet minimum player that can actually do something. 

 

You're expressing an amazing ignorance of the way the salary cap works.  If he was traded, all the guaranteed money in his contract would still accelerate and hit our cap this year the same as if we cut him.  J. Stew is gonna be here this season and likely next as well.  Even next year, it would still cost us $4M+ to cut/trade him as opposed to having him on the roster.

Can't trade him because of cap hit, same as cutting him. Would cost the team like 18 million to get rid of him.

It would be nice to have an amnesty option like the NBA had. Of course, JR wouldn't pay it.

Because of dead money. C'mon guy. No one said he's valuable, but his accelerated cap hit would raw dawg us to no end.

He must have nudes of the Big Cats ole lady.  How else do explain his contract after paying Williams.

[CelticCat]

He isn't "done" either. I admit, it would be nice to have a healthy Stu this training camp for once.

thanks JD. i was trying to  figure out the logic. I have had very little time to pay attention to much cap/roster talk this off season.  I knew he had a big hit, but damn... they need to do something

Because Hurney is no longer in the league to take him.

What team wants to give up something for an expensive injury plaqued RB in today's NFL?

 

Plus, trading presents similar issues for us as a cut.

He's going to be a good WR3 for us this season

But take the hit this year, pay the penaty 1 time for going over cap. an then we are free next year right?   Ill admit i dont know everything about the cap.  just seems to me like the whole cap/contracts situation end up f#%(ing someone..  Hurney should be tied to a tree and covered in fiberglass hardner.

your question was answered before this post.   Do you even read the responses?

 

I don't mind casual fans stopping by to ask questions, but not reading the answer and posting more is

annoying.
