Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

RB Jonathan Stewart has signed a five-year contract extension with the Carolina #Panthers.

Bill Voth ‏@billvoth

Hurney: "“We are thrilled to be able to extend Jonathan for five additional years. He is a perfect fit for our organization." #Panthers

Panthers PR Dept. ‏@Panthers_PR

Since 2008, @Jonathanstewar1 1st year in the @nfl, the #Panthershave produced 9,189 rushing yards, most in the NFL.

Bill Voth ‏@billvoth

So #Panthers can keep Williams/Stewart for at least four more years. Tolbert has contract through '15. That QB can run a bit, too.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart signed a five-year extension worth $36.5 million and a max of $42.5, including $22.5 million guaranteed.

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

#Panthers RB @Jonathanstewar1: “I’m happy and blessed to have this opportunity."

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

JStew: I just want to thank Marty Hurney, Mr. Jerry Richardson & the entire Panthers organization for believing in me & getting this done.

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers

@Jonathanstewar1: “This is a special team and great running back group. I love Charlotte, and I’m glad this will be home.”

Joe Person ‏@josephperson

Ben Dogra, agent for Jonathan Stewart, says the deal is a four-year extension with option for 5th year. $9M signing bonus, $9M option bonus.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson

Dogra said Stewart signed the deal between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. Both sides wanted it done before the game. Started working on it after season.

Glad you could stay J-Stew.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
