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.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
