Would you be upset if we traded J-Stew?

What are the chances we will be able to lock up J-Stew long term? It is likely because we locked up DeAngelo, J-Stew will eventually be playing for another team. (The only way I see these guys staying together is if J-Stew just want to stay here versus being paid as a number one guy) So would any of you be upset if we traded him to get a quality starter at cornerback and some draft picks?

I've wondered the same thing. I feel like at some point Stew is going to want to be the number 1 guy, and seeing how we just gave Williams a huge contract I don't see Stewart and Williams switching roles anytime soon. He has two years left on his contract so I wouldn't even think about it till next year. But if next year comes and he's not happy in the number two spot work out a trade package with someone so we can get some value for him instead of letting him walk in free agency.

But maybe he like being part of double trouble and being a back up and its not something to worry about. Who knows.

I agree, but the only thing about waiting another year is, what if he shows he's injury prone? That would definitely decrease his trading value. Yet people already know how good Jonathan is right now, and his value right now is pretty high. This may be the best time to trade him. Yet he may settle for less money and enjoy being apart of our double trouble package. If he likes that, then we should keep him.

I just can't support trading him this year. With the uncertainties at QB and WR we need a stable RB corps. With injuries on the o-line comes injuries to our RBs so we need a full stable of backs.

However next year we really do need to figure out something. He'll be in the last year of his contract, and I know he'll have interest from other teams. Can we justify giving two RBs big money contracts. Would Stew even want to stay and remain the number 2 back when he could have the chance to be a starter and pro bowler elsewhere. I love Stew and want him on the team but I'd rather our FO control the situation not the player.

    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.  
    • I have zero issues with this.
