Albert Breer, NFL.com:

-"Interesting to hear that NFL and NFLPA finished talks last night in the early morning hours (then Peterson and Hardy agreed to exempt list today)"

-"So with Panthers DE Greg Hardy on the exempt list, his return to the field is under the control of Goodell."

-"Nine days ago, the Ray Rice tape surfaced, via @TMZ ...Rice, Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson are now off the field indefinitely."

Andrew Brandt NFL Business Analyst for ESPN and SI's MMQB...

-"As w/ Peterson , Hardy resolution was a multi-party 'negotiation.' NFL/Panthers/Rosenhaus/ NFLPA all looking to serve their interests."

-"As with AP, sense a lot of parties - NFL/Panthers/Rosenhaus - involved in "negotiation" of Hardy status. $772,000 per week in play."

he also wrote on AP:

"Lots of interested parties in play here: NFL, Wilfs, sponsors, Peterson , Hardin, CAA, NFLPA and, of course, (armies of) lawyers..."

-"Let's be real here: this was a negotiation, pure and simple. AP goes away, gets paid, Vikings get heat off, NFL parks him on a list."

-"Key note here: Peterson's agency, @CAA_Football supports the decision. Translation: AP will be paid in full...$691,000 per week while on leave"

-"Translation of Vikings action to Peterson: 'Adrian, things are too radioactive for you to be here. Go chill somewhere, we'll pay you.'"

-"Current chaos all started with Ray Rice soft discipline. Continue to wonder why risk integrity for Ray Rice? (Was Ravens owner Steve) Bisciotti so important?"

These games should count towards his suspension if he's found guilty. Suspending him again later to like double the punishment. Make him pay the fine equal to 6 game checks and be done with it.

 

I agree along these lines, at this point.  So based on the NFL policy the way I understand it, is that in Hardy's case and situation if he is actually found guilty by a jury he would get a six game suspension.  So based on where we are now, that is how it should just be.  Let him sit out six games and reinstate him.

good point. if Hardy's appeal were to fail, he'd get a 6 game suspension for first-offense DV. If you want to include the Lions game, a 6-game suspension would be up Oct. 19, a whole month from now (and he'd be back Week 8 for the 1pm game vs the Seahawks). If you count from today, a 6-game suspension would be up Oct. 26 (and he'd be back Week 9 for the Saints on MNF)

By then, all this Rice/AP/Hardy/etc drama will have blown over, so it will be fine to reinstate him after 6 games go by (esp. since that is the max penalty he'd get if his appeal fails anyway)

You see it a lot, they lay down a heavy punishment, but once all the drama and uproar blows over as time passes, they reduce the punishment....and, 6 games is still the max punishment he'd get if his appeal fails anyway

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
