Would you be upset if we traded J-Stew?

[MadHatter]

If we could get a good DT or CB out of the deal, I woudl think about it.

Goodson and Sutton provide us MUCH more depth at RB than anything we have at DT or CB.

Eventually Stewart is going to be someone's Michael Turner, and I think we need to get something for him while we can.

Not until the final year of his deal, though.

CB to me is the more long term need. Trading away Stew for a decent-good DT when we just drafted 2 kids makes no sense at all.

If Arizona didnt trade DRC I'd be ok with that for talent/age in return for him.

DT can be plugged in FA

That's been said for three seasons, and it still hasn't worked.

So should we just ignore the fact we drafted 2 DT's this draft? Give them time to develop before we trade away a JStew for a slapdick journeyman DT.

That wasn't what I was saying.

You were making it seem like finding a DT is the easiest thing on Earth. It's not. DT is one of the hardest position to find a complete player at, because once a team get's them, they keep them.

I'm all for letting the rookie DTs develop, but it's not easy to find an above-average DT.

It's easier than finding an above average CB

this is the situation i see playing out.

i wouldn't be upset if stewart was traded or not extended.

I don't disagree, and I never said anything to the contrary. I was just saying that finding an above-average DT is incredibly hard to do.

I could definitely see trading JStew, because, like someone said before, he's going to become the Panthers version of Michael Turner at some point. It would be best to get value while we can.

I don't want to speculate about who for who in a trade, but, I would definitely be for trading some mixture of Dan Connor, JStew, and a pick for some combination of DT, CB, and a pick.

[Panthro]

I don't see how he is going to be like Turner. At some point he will be better than (and might be now) Dwill and the carries will go more towards him. Dwill isn't a little bitch like LT was and demand to remain the starter. We can see their relationship is much different than what was going on in SD.

Connor and Clausen are the best options to trade.

JStew may not demand a trade like happened in SD, but, at some point, he's going to want starter money. And with the contract that we gave DWill, we won't have the luxury of keeping them both, without having huge money tied up in both.

EDIT: I also completely agree that Clausen + Connor are our best trade options.

[Panthro]

So we rework Dwills contract.

He's going to be 30 in less then 2 years. Makes the most sense. He will rework it too if that means keeping Stewart....who will extend his playing career.
