Legal experts said his trial, tentatively scheduled for the week of Nov. 17, may not take place until much later. They point out that there are hundreds of domestic violence cases older than Hardy's. "Every single victim of domestic violence wants to have their case heard," said Charlotte defense attorney Brad Smith. "I've got cases that are years old that are still making their way up to the front of the line."
 
From the backlog of cases, prosecutors will choose roughly 30 defendants to essentially be on stand-by for the November week when Hardy's case is scheduled. If Hardy even makes that list, he still faces long odds on getting his case before a jury.
 
That could push Hardy's case into next year at the earliest. "If it's treated like any other case Greg Hardy could be sitting around this time next year still waiting on his date in court," Smith said.
 
 
 
He could end up waiting a year or more from date of the incident. So much for the 6th amendment guaranteeing a speedy jury trial.

I don't think he should have to sit out over a year of his nfl career.  I think that after 6 games of sitting out, he should be allowed back on the field as per the NFL rules.

 

The Panthers already announced that he won't play until his case is resolved, so that's not going to happen. Amazingly he would have missed less games if he plead guilty than if he goes to trial and is found innocent. That's insane.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
