Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Stewart had been in the final year of his contract. Stewart told The Associated Press it was a relief and a blessing to receive a new deal, and he's excited that he and backfield mate DeAngelo Williams, who refer to themselves as "Double Trouble," will remain together. "I want to be on a good team, and this is a good team," said Stewart. "We got a lot of good guys. The offensive line, Ryan Kalil, Jordan Gross... all over the team we got a lot of good guys. There is no other place that I would rather be." Said Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton, "You want to keep your core guys. Obviously Jonathan is a guy you want to invest in not only on the field, but off the field." Stewart continues to offer RB1 talent to Fantasy owners while only getting an RB2 workload.
