After a lot of the commotion has settled I've been trying to think about what this exempt list move actually means. I came to the conclusion that it's a good thing for our organization in regards to having Hardy on the team in the future. It shows that either Gettleman is going to at least attempt to keep Hardy beyond this season, or he believes we will get a favorable verdict and will get something out of Hardy later in the season. If neither of those were possible then why not just cut him and terminate his contract?

 

What say you?

If he has no intention of trying to keep him a Panther then why not release him and let him be a problem for another team?

He can have zero intention of keeping him after this year.

We release a stud we are paying that could game back fresh and healthy as we near playoff time?

we are paying him anyway so might as well see how things pan out. wouldn't want to pay him for playing on the team we play in the Superbowl.

this.

 

getts has thoughts of hardy coming back this season.  even with new policy the punishment is only 6 games for DV.  hardy will sit more than that between now and his court date, but i see no reason why he shouldn't come back if found not guilty in early november.  he is getting paid to be on this team.  if he's innocent his ass needs to be on the field.  

 

next season is a no go though.

So you think that if he's found guilty he will still play football this season?

 

I have a hard time believing he plays another snap with a guilty verdict.

I think it means that neither the team nor the league wants to get held legally accountable for denying Hardy his salary if/when he is found innocent. The court of public opinion is just one of the courts that is playing a roll in these decisions.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
