After visiting the #Lions today, free-agent RB Jonathan Stewart is expected to visit the #Giants tomorrow, source said. His old OC, Mike Shula, is there.
You have a draft coming up, which the top player in the draft is arguably a RB named Barkley. If the Giants want Barkley (I'm not saying they do), they may feel the need to make the Browns think they are going in a different direction.
and fills a need as a short yardage back. hopefully the dollar signs work out, because I wouldn't give him much more than the vet minimum, but he can add some solid veteran presence and work with young RBs such as Perk and Gallman

I think the Browns know Barkley isn't making it past pick #3. They either have to take him #1 or they don't get him (without a trade up I guess).

Too much intrigue. He's just a vet coming in for look, doubt the Browns see this as anything significant.
the Giants haven't had that great of a history of big name running backs who are past their prime. Running backs infamously fall off a cliff once they lose it. So unless Stewart becomes a specialist in some form, either as a short yardage back for Leroy Hoard-esque TD vulture, he likely wouldn't fare much better than the Dorsey Levens or Brian Mitchells of the world when they came to the Giants.
Though...per BBI lore, Dorsey Levens was impressive vs. the Eagles.
Stewart gets a look. He is a good blocker and picks up blitzes well. At 37 y.o. with a bunch of new faces on the OL, we need to protect Eli. Darkwa is absolutely AWFUL at picking up the blitz. We do not want Darkwa. Please!
Said for sure he will watch the film has he maybe fallen asleep in the film room? You have two young HB’s what’s your plan with Stewart taking the ball out of there hands when they need as many carries as possible to find out if they belong. The veteran presence sounds great but this team has enough vets just earning a paycheck why continue this failed process.

Yeah, let’s sign Stewart and throw the league off our trail that our real target is Barkley...
Darkwa is great inside the 5. Stewart is a spent cartridge .
For?
Darkwa may be out of DG’s price range
SMH😣. Pass.

Bringing in steady vets will help accomplish that. I'd prefer vets in as many places as we can get them.
+1.

This was a veteran team that went 3-13, for what that's worth.

Maybe he is watching film from 2009

Anderson was one of the best RB's in the league and would've led the league in rushing more times had Payton not been around.
He came to us after 7 very successful seasons in StL.
When he retired, he had the 10th most rushing yards in NFL history.
What has Stewart done to even approach the idea he's OJ 2.0 except play for another team for years?
