According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, former Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart is visiting the Seahawks on Thursday.
It’s worth mentioning that signing Stewart to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Stewart, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Panthers back in 2008. He was in the final year of his six-year, $37.811 million contract when he signed a two-year, $8 million deal that included $1.1 million guaranteed with the Panthers last year.
Stewart was set to make a base salary of $1.9 million for the 2018 season when the Panthers released him a few weeks ago in a move that created $3,718,750 of available cap space.
In 2017, Stewart appeared in 15 games for the Panthers and rushed for 680 yards on 198 carries (3.4 YPC) to go along with eight receptions for 52 yards receiving and seven total touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 51 running back out of 58 qualifying players.
