Alfred Morris? If Stew is gone...

Let me start with a disclaimer, I don't make "let's sign this guy" threads.

Having said that, the popular belief is that Jonathan Stewart will not be a Panther next year.

So, with Gettlemans reputation of "bargain bin" players, how does Alfred Morris sound as a replacement?

As Collinsworth would say, "here's a guy" who has had 1,000 plus yards rushing every year since entering the league, minus this last year. Morris was somewhat inexplicably replaced with that big, goofy looking goon Matt Jones.

Morris seems to have been written off, and fallen off the radar of the entire nfl. 

Can Gettleman get an affordable deal and take a flyer on him, if we don't resign Stew?

I have attached his career stats for those of you interested.

I wouldn't say that it's a popular belief that Stew is gone. Whether he stays will depend upon the architecture of a new deal. 

Albert Morris seems like a realistic option (as does Eric Weddle at Safety), but I just think that CAP and Wegher should be able to carry the load as long as they master the blocking aspect of the job (which is another reason why I believe Getty will do what he can to keep Stew here).

Popular belief with who?  Stew will be back.  He is due $9.5 million next year but $7.3 of that still counts towards the cap if we cut him.  He is easily worth more than the $2.2 million we would save by cutting him.

Not entirely true. If Stewie gets designated a Post June 1 cut we split that 7 million into next year. We would then save, roughly 5.5 million this year.  Which is significant.

EDIT:. So then the question becomes is there someone on the roster who can replace his production or is there someone we can sign for cheaper than 5.5 Million so as to benefit financially from cutting Setwart?

Post June 1 cut its much more appealing. 5.75 cap savings... Stewart is going to be a really hard decision either way

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
