Jonathan Stewart Trade Idea

Recommended Posts

If Hurney was smart he'd try and convince the Colts they need an every down back like Stewart to support Luck next year. They give us their 2012 2nd and they get Stewart. Their running game is going to be atrocious next year again with Addai and Donald Brown. Nobody is going to respect that run game. If you put Stewart back there he'll give you 1200 yards and 10-15 TDs easily as the feature back.

For those of you homers that think Hurney is going to resign Jonathan Stewart and we're going to keep DWill AND Stewart AND Tolbert...its not happening. Stewart is going to be the best RB on the free agent market next year. If we were going to resign him it'd be done already...he's gone. Trade him now to get something for him, let Tolbert take over his role, and actually get our money's worth out of Deangelo Williams. So far Williams has been paid a king's ransom and did essentially nothing last year to warrant it.

the colts 2nd is 34th overall, two spots outside of the 1st. i doubt they'd give that up being in full rebuild mode.

you could probably get a mid-late 2nd for stewart from another team though, doesn't really matter who it is.

Wish they would, Ill take it

teams do it all the time. trade for a guy on the last year of his contract and try to work out an extension afterwards

personally i think it's stupid. if im giving up picks i want to be 100% sure that not only i can get an extension done, but also that it's for the price i want... but teams still do it regularly.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
