On Friday, the team announced the one-year extension of running back Jonathan Stewart, locking him in through 2018.

FFToday's Take:Stewart was set to count over $8 million against the cap so the extension will likely lessen that number plus add another year of control for the Panthers. Carolina is said to be in the running back market and could select Leonard Fournette with the 8th overall pick.
