Carolina Panthers 2013 Franchise Tag Candidates

Found August 11, 2012 on The Football Fan Spot: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jonathan Stewart,  DeAngelo Williams,  Angelo Williams
TEAMS: Carolina Panthers,  Minnesota Vikings
Philadelphia_eagles_v_e6f3
RB Jonathan Stewart Jonathan Stewart has the talent to deserve the running back franchise tag, only 7.7 million in 2012, averaging 4.8 YPC in his career after going in the 1st round in 2008, including 5.4 YPC last year, when he finally broke out as a pass catcher, catching 47 passes. However, the Panthers gave DeAngelo Williams 5 years, 43 million with 21 million guaranteed last offseason, even though he’s 4 years older, and, backed up against the cap, it probably won’t make financial sense to commit upwards of 7.7 million to another running back, however talented he may be. Keeping Williams in 2011, rather than Stewart in 2013, could prove to be a big mistake. Likelihood: Unlikely

Carolina Panthers 2012 Season Preview

I may have been one of the harshest Cam Newton critics coming into last season.  I knew he had talent, it just wasn’t conventional talent that typically translated to immediate NFL success, and I am not afraid to admit when I am wrong. He had a historically good rookie season, putting up gaudy statistics, and winning over skeptics from all over the vast sea of haters known as...
