Stew says he'd love to stay a panther long term

[Keith Moons Liver]

if we are only keeping one back i'd rather have stew than deangelo. he's both younger and better.

[4Corners]

give me 1 reason why we SHOULDNT keep Stew here. thats ridicoulous if Hurney lets him walk..

totally agree

I'm sure Marty will think of a reason

[jtnc]

Williams doesn't need to restructure and they will keep Stewart. He will be given a new contract sometime during 2012. Williams contract is front loaded for 2011 and 2012. It is reasonable after that and was devised with the idea of keeping Stewart when his contract expires after the 2012 season.

We have to resign Steve Smith too, restructuring maybe needed.

Keep the tag team alive baby. These two could help each other stay at a high level for a long time. I also believe D-Will will restructure his contract to keep Stew.

[charlottenian]

friendship is one thing and business is another, assuming that DeAngelo would just let millions leave his pocket so they can keep Stewart on roster is absurd.... They can be the best of pals even if Stewart was with the Bills then if they played for the same team.

Players do it all the time. I don't think it's out of the question. In fact, if D-Will doesn't restructure, that could mean when it's time to give Jonathan a contract, we could release DeAngelo. And I doubt another team will give DeAngelo a big contract when he's over 30 years old. All in all, DeAngelo will maximize the amount of money he will make with us, even if we restructure his contract.

Smith already counts over 7 million to the cap. In 2013 we can likely resign him with no more cap hit than present. Backload it so we will have plenty of money when the television contract bumps the cap up a lot.

[panthers55]

When players restructure they don't lose money. They usually get their money up front in a signing bonus which is spread out over the life of the remaining contract for cap purposes. So they get more money not less but because the yearly salary for that season goes down and the signing bonus is spread out, the cap hit is less.

they better fuging resign JS or heads are gonna roll

[ladypanther]

I believe we will keep them both.

[stirs]

Trade him to Cincy for the 21st pick and act like an organization who is committed to winning.

I hope we lock him up long term. He is a great back in a system that he works very well in :( plus he seems to be a good guy to have in the locker room

[unicar15]

Resigning the older of the two backs (by 4 years) and letting the younger player go would be one of the dumber moves of Hurney's career. If he was going to let a RB walk he shoulda done it last year with Deangelo. You don't let the guy with younger legs and just as much talent walk away.

[JawnyBlaze]

He is gone.

Panthers re-sign players they intend to keep during the season

Like CJ, Kalil, Deangelo, Beason...
