Panthers extend Stewart 5 more years

[Arctic Dawgs]

The Panthers just announced they have signed Stewart to a five-year contract extension.

“We are thrilled to be able to extend Jonathan for five additional years,’’ general manager Marty Hurney said. “He is a perfect fit for our organization. He is a playmaker who can make the difference in games and we have seen the impact he and DeAngelo Williams have had on our team.”

Didn't DaWilly get extended for 5 more last year ??

I don't get it, unless they think they can shop one of them next year, or later this year.

And they just signed Tolbert this year as a FA. :dunno:

STL should grab one of these dudes for when SJax falls apart

so....how much $$$ do they have tied up in the RB spot with Stewart, DWill and Tolbert?

I need to dig some, but I think they both signed 5 year deals that ran about $30-35 million. Not sure what Tolbert signed for, or for how long

A bit surprising...... I would have thought that Stewart at this point would have had to go with a shorter contract with a big hometown discount.
