Carolina Hustler

I don't have a link yet, but I have a few friends who work in the Panthers organization who say this is what they're hearing. I'll post more if I here anything else..

There are Lafell owners?i guess this would be good for Nicks owners, bad for LaFell owners, and a big ??? for Stewart owners
I'm sure he's got the WR4/5 spot locked down on many a 16 team league roster. The poor chumps.There are Lafell owners?i guess this would be good for Nicks owners, bad for LaFell owners, and a big ??? for Stewart owners
Just kidding.
But really. He is awful.
They're trying to corner the market.Just what the Giants need - another perennially injured RB
Laugh if you want, but I think a healthy Stewart is still a top 10 RB in the NFL.Why would the Giants want Stewart? He has a huge contract, they're 1-6 and Brown and Wilson will be back after the Week 9 bye.
Guess its possible but seems like a stretch. I'd like to see it though.
I dont think the financial aspect of this works out at all. Nicks is going to want a contract paying him 6,7,8 million a year. The Panthers are not in a spot where they can pay him that especially with Greg Hardy in negotiations.Laugh if you want, but I think a healthy Stewart is still a top 10 RB in the NFL.Why would the Giants want Stewart?

I kind of doubt this deal will happen. It seems like a typical FF wet dream rumor, but it does make some sense.
The Panthers have a pathetic WR corpse and the Giants have a pretty uninspiring RB situation. Brown is chronically injured and Wilson looks more like Ryan Williams with each passing week.
I'm ignorant when it comes to this sort of stuff, but maybe it's just about Carolina getting rid of JStew's contract? Maybe they're content use Nicks as a rental and let him walk in the offseason. Those kind of deals do happen in other sports.I dont think the financial aspect of this works out at all. Nicks is going to want a contract paying him 6,7,8 million a year.

It long been believed by many that JStew is a top 10 talent at the position. I don't think anyone would laugh at that statement.Laugh if you want, but I think a healthy Stewart is still a top 10 RB in the NFL.Why would the Giants want Stewart?

and how much extra cap are you imagining this deal would take?It would be interesting if it happened but I don't think the Giants have enough cap space to do it... they're paying the quarterback and the coach's son in law too much
I usually don't comment on these types of posts, but I had to here. Please enlighten me as to why you felt compelled to do this? You should know that it's really very annoying.I have friends in the packers organization. I heard from them the packers are seriously considering trading Rodgers straight up for cutler
This is the only thing I can find online about this "trade"...Senior NFL.com analyst and former Dallas Cowboys vice president of player personnel Gil Brandt offered up the New York Giants as a win-win trade partnerfor Stewart. The Giants would get a desperately needed running back, while Hakeem Nicks could finally be that No. 2 receiver Carolina has long needed.
I'm not a cap guru and don't have the numbers on how Stewart's signing bonus is amortized, but he has a 1.5M base salary in 2014 and then around $5M a year 2015-2017 plus whatever the signing bonus is on top of it. I just don't see how those numbers work for a team that could barely afford to sign anyone for the last two years. That said I'm sure there are a lot of ways to get around it so I wouldn't rule it out.and how much extra cap are you imagining this deal would take?It would be interesting if it happened but I don't think the Giants have enough cap space to do it... they're paying the quarterback and the coach's son in law too much
because I'm not seeing any --- it's carolina that would take the big cap hit

Brandt went on to speculate on four other trades, including Gordon, Babin, Britt, Grossman.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1815884-with-deangelo-williams-shouldering-load-panthers-must-trade-jonathan-stewart

Would the Giants have to take over the Stewart contract?
yes
And they would be getting rid of Nicks because they don't want to pay him a hefty contract?
no
Seems contradictory if so to both.
Not to mention the Giants would then have Stewart, Brown, Wilson, Cox, Hillis, Jacobs, all on the roster. That's a bit crowded and they all have issues.
lol
Not sure what it is really.. I wait for more information.. May not happen at all.. But I'm told this in the Buzz in Panthers camp..Is this a straight up trade?
The article also states that Stewart is several weeks away and may not be ready until mid-November. Doesn't make sense because by then Brown would be back.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1815884-with-deangelo-williams-shouldering-load-panthers-must-trade-jonathan-stewart

Jonathan Stewart was just seen shopping for houses in the New York area.

Stop.Hakeem Nicks has been spotted in the baggage claim area at Charlotte International Airport.

It looks like the Giants would only be on the hook for $4M if they cut him before next season. LinkI cant see it happening, Stewart's contract with the Panthers is ridiculous. His 2014 & 2015 salaries are guaranteed and he is due $2M in deferred signing bonuses in 2014 & another 7M roster bonus in 2014. The Panthers would take a nearly $8M cap hit trading him and the Giants would take on a huge guaranteed contract still remaining to be paid out.
Stewart's $1.5 million base salary in 2014 and $2.5 million of his $4.25 million base salary in 2015 are now fully guaranteed.
