When the New York Giants signed signed Jonathan Stewart to a two-year, $6.9 million contract, it was thought to be a good move in regard to developing Saquon Barkley and providing him with a veteran mentor for his first two seasons. Additionally, Stewart could have played a short yardage grinder role, where Barkley was more at risk of taking big collisions and suffering injuries.
At this point in the preseason, the signing seems to be a massive failure. Over the course of three games, the former Carolina Panther has racked up a total of -5 yards on 10 carries.
