Bye Week Bordem - Jonathan Stewart's Value

Sitting at 1-5 at the bye week has me questioning if the Panthers should be in buy or sell mode leading up to the November 1st trade deadline. We have seen the national writers and fans say the Panthers should go out and get Joe Thomas or Joe Haden, but their hasn't been much talk about the Panthers being sellers.

I've seen a few Huddlers suggest that given Stewart's injury history, that he could be post June-1 cut after this year to save some cap space. If this were to happen, the Panthers would add about  $3.5M in dead money for 2017-2018 and free up about $6.25M in cap space in 2017 and $1M in 2017.

But what if a team like the Packers or another RB needy team come calling, looking for an upgrade at RB? Trading Stewart now (I'm not taking into effect this year's dead money or cap savings) would add about $5M to dead money for 2017-2018 and free up about $4.75M in 2017 and $1M in 2018.

With all of that said, looking at the figures, what would you consider Stewart's return value in a trade scenario? Would a 3rd round pick be sufficient enough for the difference of the $1.5M in dead money/cap savings in trading his vs cutting him? What would a realistic return be? Does the staff have that much confidence in CAP to pull the trigger?

I don't think the Panthers have enough trust in CAP to trade Stewart.  I think we will see a RB drafted in the first 3 rounds in the 2017 draft.  

But...If the Panthers continue to lose, I would like to see them get something out of Stewart because more than likely they are going to cut him due to cap reasons next year....I would take a 3rd rounder for him if I were making the decisions.  He will only continue to have injury issues as he gets older and he will be the 'dreaded 30' next year.  I think his best days are behind him.

Stewart is going to be a Seahawk someday, would love to get something out of him. Michael and Rawls are a cheap alternative for them but if they're gonna try and make another SB run - they should trade for Stewart where he can finish his career at home with his family.

 

Stewart would fit right in with that Offense. Hey, if they are willing to give us something worthy of actually looking at? Why not?

 

That said. Stewy has a history of missing games. Not sure any team would be willing to give us anything worth-while in a trade.

 

And...trading Stewy might send the wrong signal. I am sure we are still interested in winning. Trading Stewy would undermine that philosophy.

Not to be "That guy", ah hellz, who am I kidding? I like being "That guy". But, we only have one more game until the trade deadline. Not sure how much more losing we can do in that time frame.

 

If some team was goofy enough to give us a 3rd? I'd take it. Let Cap, and Fozzy, get real good looks the rest of this year. Gives us a real opportunity to evaluate them. Bring in a real FB, run the Power I out of Pro Sets, and let's see what we have.

 

But realistically? We need Stewy in this Offense. So if you are going to trade him, you had better have a plan on replacing him.

I'm going to say.... if we got a 7th for him we would be the winners. He has been hurt since college and even though he is effective when healthy, he can't stay healthy. He Is the Romo of the RB world. Love the guy to death, but we need more reliability.

      Big Ben on drafting a QB and roster building

      This is spot on, with the first 5 years of a QBs contract being so pivotal, as it should, unless you have Pat Mahomes or the reincarnation of Tom Brady, stats shows once the qb gets paid, the teams Super Bowl chances shrink significantly  what we did to get Bryce was idiotic to say the least, not because of the player(not a Bryce endorsement) but because there’s a long history of proof, making big swings at qb, are usually big misses  find the identify, build around that, and go from there. Unfortunately we don’t have one, and neither the defense nor offense side of the ball are more than good at best

      Seems like a loaded EDGE class. though I think we don't spend a premium pick there with Scourton/Princely showing production and potential.  Concepcion at 19 is intriguing and seen ARSB comps with his shiftiness, high IQ and YAC ability. He and TMac would be a nasty 1-2 combo at stretching a defense. Brenan Thompson could be that day 2 speedy/slot guy that could boost his draft stock in Mobile.  Sam Hecht could be a later selection for C depending on how we are planning to attack that position in FA and our own previous guys. Shelton from PSU is an interesting developmental tackle that if he can get locked into an NFL strength program and rock up, could be good down the road. Speaking of PSU, Dani Dennis Sutton was a guy last year I was big on and was bummed he headed back to Happy Valley. I think he can be a helluva NFL player, and if he can show improvement in his pass rush moves, I wouldn't be mad at him in a trade-back situation.
