J-Stew - What do we do?

[GotSwag?]

Hey guys,

Been pondering over what we should do with J-Stew and figured Id bring this thought to the Huddle. He is a FA after this coming season and with D-Wills contract, it got me thinking...Do we...

1) Re-sign J-Stew. Just wondering here if he is going to be looking for a D-Will type contract. If so, I dont know if we have the room. Maybe we can restructure D-Will and have the abilities to keep both.

2) Trade J-Stew this offseason. I dont like or want this option, but if a team is willing to give up a 1st for him, would you atleast consider it??

3) Just keep him around one more season and let it play itself out. You never know whos going to have to be released or restructured or just how much money we will have then, so just hold onto him for one more season?

---I dont see this topic being discussed on here, but its something I have wondered about and just want to know what the Huddle thinks we should do with J-Stew. Discuss ---

Try our best to resign him.

If price gets ridiculous franchise and do our best to trade him.

[OneBadassCat]

Absolutely keep him. He is breaking franchise records as a back up. He is the future of this team at RB. He's starting to take on the dominant role. Make Williams restructure so we can resign him next season.

[ECUPantherFan]

Keep him. No doubt about it.

let Stewart play out the last year of his contract. No need to rush into a deal w/ a RB. If he stays healthy.....resign him.

you don't trade a healthy Stewart...IF, IF you get rid of part of Double Trouble it is Williams that goes after the 2012 season.

[The_Mango55]

Even if we can't resign him, I'd rather have him and lose him for nothing than trade him for probably a 3rd round pick.

A team isn't going to trade for a then 30 year old, going on 31, running back.

Deangelo apparently has a remarkable ability to age 3 years in one years time.

Ah, I was thinking he was going to 30 this off-season, not 29. Sorry, I missed it by one year and a few months...

:rolleyes:

I didn't say anything about trading Williams. If your option is resigning a healthy Stewart after 2012 and cutting a 30 yr old DeAngelo.....you resign Stewart and cut DeAngleo.

What I was saying was that no team is going to trade for him, because cutting him shouldn't be an option. The cap hit, which is indicated in RocknRolla's thread, would be gigantic if we released him.

hopefully drafting 1st round RBs are a thing of the past and we grab one next year to start grooming a RB behind these guys.. Stew will be around for a while, we need a guy to replace DWill...

it would be nice to trade the guy before he starts trending down, anything is better than nothing.

[PhillyB]

stew will be around a while. splitting carries with dwill has kept him fresh.

i expect we'll grab a scat back like rivera mentioned in a later round this year, or next year, as the heir apparent to dwill.

[Argus Plexus]

No. Love D-Will, but it's almost his time to go. Keep him for our SB run coming up in a season or two, and trade him after that. Keep Stewart for the long term.
