Intends is not the same as will, but hope there is hope.

Reading the Stephen Davis thread...there are advantages to sharing the load...longer career....longer life/quality of life.

Also...he thinks the Panthers will be winners.

Hope Hurney can make this happen.

[Gallagher]

Good to know. Hopefully he has a long and successful career with Carolina.

[MadHatter]

His statement basically says that he would like to remain a Panther.....if they show him the money.

You can't really read anything more into that statement. It is one that any player would make. What did you expect him to say? I am out of here in one year for a big payday. He is smart enough to know that being politically correct in his statements right now is the smart thing to do.

I hope he does stay. But, I still don't really see it happening.

I like d lo but Stews my favorite RB - his game against the Giants a couple years ago was off the hook - hope he can stay -

That whole game was incredible.

Words mean nothing to me.

He will follow the biggest payday, as any RB would do especially if you can earn AP/DWill/Johnson money, and I think he just may.

My biggest concern is Atlanta makes a move for him to replace Turner.

A team I would be worried about (and I honestly am) is the Steelers throwing a shitload of cash his way. They need a RB.

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't go hard after Tolbert.

You think that Ron Rivera is going to let that happen, seeing as he saw Turner depart from San Diego to Atlanta, leaving an aging Tomlinson? That would be akin to some form of cruel deja vu with a twist of irony. Never in a million years. That would be worse than Stewart reuniting with John Fox.

I think Hurney over paid Johnson significantly because CJ was indeed headed to Atlanta to sign a contract.

Would not surprise me in the least.

You do realize that Hurney will either have to slap the franchise tag on Stew, or let him walk to wherever the money is.

It's either cut DWill and sign Stew to a long term deal, or he walks.

[Raskle]

I'd honestly rather keep Stewie than DWill... to me, he runs harder between the tackles, and has just as much explosive big play ability. Dwill just has more speed for the edge, and is a little shiftier... but if I had to choose, I'd take Stewie first. That said, I'd like to see them both stay, but can see problems with that happening.

Im sure after this year Stew is gone unless he is injured or has a horrible year. Players say all the right things before they are free to leave but one things stays true, They WANT to get payed, and payed well.
