Steelers | Could show interest in Jonathan Stewart

Not going to happen. And even if we had the money, why would I sign a guy who's a walking bandaid? He's hurt EVERY year.

Teams don't need a feature back anymore...........Redman has proven that he can handle a somewhat of a bigger role.......The Steelers just need to add a RB through the draft...........

Yes it counts.

I don't want to sound like a parrot and repeat myself but If the Panthers have an interest in Wallace. Then except alternate compensation for him.( The Steelers can do that with in the rules) Panthers send 1st rounder & Stewart & we send our first rounder & Wallace. Win,Win for both teams.

Nope. Don't want that deal at all. They need US waaaaaaaay more then we need them. We can let Dwyer start and be fine. They throw in a second round pick, then we can talk.

Because Stewarts always hurt.

A more intriguing prospect than Stewart is Brandon Jacobs, although the Steelers seem to be somewhat overloaded with power backs at the moment.

Yep to many of his type now on the roster but the real reason. Guy has a attitude lips off to other teams coaches and etc. Not Steeler material.

I bet money they do pick up another rb through free agency or the draft. Why not grab a good one in Stewart ? Coach for Carolina thinks he is playing fantasy football stock piling all those rbs. Does he realize he can't put them all on the field at one time ?
