The Stewart Situation (I know right? Never been discussed before)

[davos]

Question:

If you were GM and you're sitting in Gettlemans shoes cap & player wise, would you cut Stewart in June and just take the cap hit?

I ask because I think he's great...but it's a waste having him and his contract here. Think about it this way: we cut stew and Godfrey in June and CG's savings cover the JS cap hit. I know that's not how it works but I think we need to just ditch Stewart. We're not trading him barring a restructure and we don't need him to get to 12-4.

[pantherclaw]

No I wouldn't. The savings to cut him isn't significant.

He's still young, and will continue to have at least a few good seasons.

the question is where...on the field or a bike.

[Dex]

If anyone gets cut it will be Dlo.

[top dawg]

I can't wait until Stew comes back and shuts the doubting mouths. That's gonna be a very nice day.

[WOW!!]

You can't get any  savings from cutting Stew this year. It will actually really hurt us to do that.

 

This is not even a topic with the way his contract is written. 

 

No need to even talk about this.

 

Thread end.

On the unquestionably sound and well-researched afternoon program on WFNZ, the babbling moron (Mark or Marc?) personality stated, "I have heard from players that Stewart is considered to be very soft." 

 

Still, we will probably cut DWill and Stew's fate will be determined this year.  Why pay him while he is injured and cut him when he gets healthy?

[top dawg]

Stewart and "soft" down't really go together when you see his play on the field. The"soft" label is bullshit!

 

[TheRed]

I thought the idea was to not have our franchise quarterback be our leading rusher again. There are people who actually believe the solution to our run game is to cut our one RB that consistently sees the field? There are no guarantees that Stewart will ever be the same again.

 

I don't think either will get cut this year.

[Ruff]

I wouldn't, no. I'd wait until after preseason and see if he a) makes it through healthy or b) still has enough left to play after so much nagging injuries. I wouldn't just go ahead and get rid of him now and take the hit, that puts yourself in a lose-lose situation.

You missed the point. Given its a hit and not something that saves money, would you still do it. Just asking the question.

[Pantherman]

Why? DWill has done a lot more in the past few seasons then Stewart has and he has stayed healthy as well. Who would you get to replace Dwill? Barner wouldn't help much. The guy gets tossed around like a rag doll when he gets hit and Stewart can't stay healthy anymore. So releasing him would not be an option neither.

[WOW!!]

It's more then a hit. We would be paying him more to be off the roster then to be on it. It makes no sense.

If after looking at him in camp and pre season, if he doesn't look the same. If he's not as explosive or his ankle injuries keep bothering him. Yea, I'd take the hit and cut him as a June 1st to spread the hit around. After the hit is gone, the team is in a much better spot cap wise.
