Williams makes it sound like they're parting amicably but Stewart might be a little disappointed.

Mentioned that he's previously worked with Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort so I wonder if he lands there.

(and if he does, would he be willing to help facilitate trade talks with us)

Talked previously here about people with connections to Reich. Here are two that come to mind...

Morocco Brown: Brown currently holds the title of Chief Personnel Executive with the Colts. He's previously worked in personnel roles for the Redskins, Browns and Bears.  He has some Carolina connections in that his first NFL boss was original Panthers GM Bill Polian and he's a graduate of NC State. Worth noting as well that Brown has been interviewed by multiple teams for GM openings.

Ed Dodds: The current Colts Assistant GM has more and deeper connections than Brown in that he's not only worked with Reich but also with Scott Fitterer and Dan Morgan for several years in Seattle. And yes, he's also had multiple GM interviews, including with us (he pulled out of the search shortly after interviewing). The problem here would be that Dodds already has an Assistant GM role so a position like Stewart's would be a step down.

Either of these guys would be a home run addition to the front office. Brown would obviously be the more likely of the two given their respective positions but there is a scenario where Dodds and the Colts could part ways if Colts owner Jim Irsay insists on hiring Jeff Saturday and Dodds isn'ton board with tying his career to that decision.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
