Peter King - deal Williams or Stewart for 1st round pick

[Kyle82]

I would take a first round pick for either player, though I think Stewart has more upside to the Panthers (younger, hasn't missed a game yet, longer time left on his contract).

Remember, you are going to have to pay DeAngelo when his contract expires. Why not parlay that into another first round pick and get the services of another stud RB for a few years on the cheap?

You must be an idiot as well....why the fruk would you mess with a duo that ran for 1100 yards EACH....come on man....

He's just hoping we are stupid enough to give one of our good players to his team. For a low first round pick no less. King if you ever read this let it be known that you are an imbecile and a joke. One which you seem to have not understood.

[STIFFPAWED]

There are teams foaming at the mouth to get their hands on either of the two. We have arguably the best running game in the league. It would be idiotic to give up that part of our offense for the unknown. If we can stay healthy next season we are possibly one or two pieces from being a Super Bowl winning team. So up yours Peter King!

[MadHatter]

See, it's because of the Jake deal and the Peppers fiasco, that they think were stupid.

No, it is because we have traded away the next year's picks for two straight seasons that they think we should make this trade.

You saw what happened to the Giants great running game when they traded away one of their good backs. We are a running team...you MUST have 2 excellent backs and a couple of good reserves to be successful with that formula.

Yeah, lets compound last years mistake by trading away one of our RB's (therefore weakening a huge strength of the team) for a 1st round pick to what??? draft a rooking QB who may or may not amount to anything and along the way most likely set this franchise back 3yrs while we find out, wasting years of our current top talent.

[j2sgam]

Or, crazy idea, extend D.Will before his contract is up...?

I think either of our RB's are worth more than a 1st. Hell, we got each of them with a 1st, but now they have experience. That is what raises their value, IMO. Both have proven that they can carry the rock on their own, both seem to have been OK with the #2 spot. The way they work it now, both of them being the 1.5 back(?) seems to be the deal...

Which is where their value to this team increases greatly -the way they seem to feed off each other. You dont see a 'smash&dash2528.com' do you? These two like each other, push each other, make the other one better than he would be without or with some other back. That is why all of these 'Trade DW/JS' threads should be moved in with the rest of RT81's posts...

Yes, I am an idiot.

However, you can't pay upcoming contracts for both backs.

So when DeAngelo hits FA, you have two choices:

Let him walk for no compensation.

Pay him, realizing that when Stewart becomes a FA, he will walk without compensation.

Or, if you can find someone to pony up a 1st rounder for either player (preferably DeAngelo), take the pick and draft another RB, get cheap service out of that RB for a few years and keep your salary cap in tact.

Even an idiot can understand this.

Carolina doesn't need a 1st rounder. Carolina needs some stable/average QB play.....1st round pick isn't required for that. They also need a WR to help Smitty.....odds favor finding immediate help from a vet.

Carolina is stacked w/ talent and just need a few tweaks.....once you remove Jake from the equation that was obvious.

[Brandon]

I'm sorry but the top end of this draft is unremarkable except for top 5 players, and we have a looming lockout next year. Why exactly would ANY team trade for a first round pick this year...

Peter King - Shut up :nonod:

Dear Peter King:

Blow me

The Vagies didn't trade Ward, he was a UFA.

[pantherfan49]

The Vagies didn't trade Ward, he was a UFA.

Furthermore, they had 3 good backs, one of which got slow all of the sudden. I don't think this is an analogous situation to justify keeping Stewart and DeAngelo.
