I don't know dude.  CJ's contract is so atrocious, I could see them releasing him and signing Hardy to a long term deal.  Plus CJ is older.   

 

Charles Johnson's been one of the most consistent players on the team for going on 5 seasons now.  I don't think they'd let him go to keep Greg Hardy, who is battling some serious legal problems and is a strong candidate to miss a lot of games due to suspension.  In a perfect world Johnson would restructure his contract to be more cap friendly and they'd let Ealy step into Hardy's spot next season if he shows he's ready.  

 

I really don't see them keeping Hardy past this season.  He wants too much money and his off field troubles make him too risky for a long term deal.  The Ealy pick looks brilliant in hindsight.

If anyone paid attention to the Giants, I believe Johnson will be the one to stay too.  The Giants kept the quieter more consistent Justin Tuck.  They paired him with Kiwanuka and the young J. Pierre Paul.  They let Osi walk.  He was the only one with negativity attached to his name.  We have not assembled all of this DE talent for nothing.  I mean hell, even Wes Horton was getting good pressure last night.  Gettleman has too much savvy and too much talent to hand Greg Hardy 60/70plus million.

Would rather have Hardy than CJ, although I love them both. Hardy just absolutely manhandled last years number 1 pick last night. He didn't get a sack but he was having his way with Fisher all night. Hardy's combo of speed, strength, and competitiveness make him a guy we can't afford to lose.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
