I think this is only his second or third year in the league, so he's probably not a FA in the upcoming offseason but what about a trade involving one or more of our players and/or Draft picks ? This is a big guy with excellent strength running inside but also with enough quicks to run off-tackle. He looks just like the kind of back we could use and with the Panthers also having DeAngelo Williams, Stewart might be expendable ?

Jonathan Stewart was taken 13th by the Panthers in 2008 and is quite possibly in the top 3 in size/speed among NFL RB. You couldn't pick 5 RB's with more talent than him. You want him from the Panthers? Give them AJ and they might consider it.

DeAngelo Williams is someone to consider if they're going to trade a RB. He only has one year left on his contract and Kubiak did try to trade up for him in the '06 draft, so if there's a match, that's it. But, given Stewart's injury concerns, I wouldn't bet on it.

Drafting a RB is still the best route to go.
