Running back Jonathan Stewart signed a one-day contract to retire with the Carolina Panthers after 11 seasons in the NFL on Tuesday. He spent 10 of his seasons with Carolina and is the team's all-time leading rusher with 7,318 yards and 51 touchdowns. The 32-year-old had just six carries and 17 yards in three games with the Giants in 2018 before he landed on Injured Reserve. Stewart was the No. 13 overall pick in 2008 and averaged 923 scrimmage yards with 27 total touchdowns in his final four ye[...]

The New York Giants won't exercise running back Jonathan Stewart's 2019 option for his second season with the team, according to a source. J-Stew's salary cap hit in 2019 would have been $2.775 million, but they won't have any dead money and will actually receive a $250,000 cap credit. In his first year in the Big Apple, the 31-year-old was injured after just three games and finished with six carries for 17 yards. He's on his last legs and won't find much interest on the open market as he heads[...]

The New York Giants are expected to release running back Jonathan Stewart before Feb. 4, when his 2019 option decision is due. J-Stew was a massive free-agent bust for the Giants, playing in just three games with six carries for 17 yards before getting injured. He'll turn 32 in March and will likely struggle to latch on with another team in free agency.

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) will remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. J-Stew had six carries for 17 yards (2.8 yards per carry) in his three games this season. He'll turn 32 next March and won't even be an attractive handcuff to Saquon Barkley in his second and final year under contract with the Giants in 2019. That's assuming the Giants don't cut him either, which is likely at this point.

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) has resumed practicing, which means the Giants can activate him from Injured Reserve within the next 21 days. The 31-year-old averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on six attempts in three games before being injured earlier this year. If he does return for the stretch run, J-Stew will be nothing more than running back depth behind rookie Saquon Barkley and Wayne Gallman.

Its frustrating. I dont claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, Im content right here at my computer giving my opinion. With that being said, I would love to be in the coachs room while they try to justify leaving running backs on the bench while they are performing better than anyone on the team. [...]
