Where's everyone that said they were sure Stew was going to get cut?

I think most people thought this would happen. IF he didn't restructure than he would get cut. But just look at the level of commitment. They basically have him on a 2 year deal now. Let's see how these numbers turn out.

So does this eliminate RB at 8? What do you guys think?

No, they can still go RB at that position.  Which if Fournette is there, would not shock me if they did.  They can release him next year, and probably still not have that much of a cap hit.

It will be interesting to see the details.  Was this done to free up some cap space, or pay him more money up front to be able to cut him easier in the future, or for some other reason?

Basically, Stew was about to be paid the second highest salary for any RB in the league this year behind only Lesean McCoy. We all love him, but let's be real, he's not worth that kind of money. We could cut him and end up freeing quite a bit of money this offseason.

Having said that, he obviously still has some tread left on the tires and he is without a doubt our best available option at the position at this point in time. So what is a GM to do?

Since we could cut Stewart and save money, that means the remaining money he is to be paid isn't guaranteed. So we ended up converting some of the remaining money left on his contract to guaranteed money that he wouldn't see if we cut him, and added another year to his deal. This way he is guaranteed to see more money than he would if he were cut, and we're guaranteed a proven commodity at the RB position for the next few years. This would allow us to draft his potential replacement but still keep him on the team at a more reasonable price. It's a win-win for everyone. Stew sees more money guaranteed and we free up more money by doing it.

I hope I explained that well, I'm rushing to get this post in because the responses are flooding in.

Thanks, sounds like a good deal for both sides.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
