Panthers part ways with veteran running back Jonathan Stewart | Charlotte Observer
The Carolina Panthers have cut running back Jonathan Stewart after 10 seasons, a source told the Charlotte Observer on Wednesday. The team later confirmed the news.
Stewart, who will be 31 in March, had a year left on his contract with a salary cap number of $5.2 million. Releasing him creates $3.7 million in room for the Panthers.
In 2017, Stewart passed DeAngelo Williams as the team’s all-time leading rusher, with 7,318 yards. He ranks second in franchise history with 51 rushing touchdowns and 16 100-yard rushing games.
