As bad as we've looked on defense this season, we can't afford to give Hardy the type of deal he wants. We've got too much cap space tied to the position as it is. It would be a MUCH tougher decision if he was an upstanding citizen, but given his erratic behavior off the field, I just don't think the Panthers can make the kind of commitment necessary to retain him, especially with long-term deals for Cam and Luke on the horizon.

He won't be getting a "big ass deal" from anybody with the media uproar about DV. I would sign him for less than $10M/year for a couple years if and only if he's found innocent at trial and as terms of that deal I would make it that any future DV incident voids the entire amount of guaranteed money.

Well now that we've seen what our defense looks like without him. If he does end up playing for the Panthers again this season, and the defense looks like it did last year, his chances of a big payday could go up again substantially. Especially if he is ultimately found innocent.

What do we know at this point?  When will he play?  How productive will he be when he comes back?  Is his head screwed on better this time or is just going to be something else.?

 

Gettleman wasn't sold on him before this season and thought he was somewhat or a wild card.  Don't think that is changed.  I don't see him playing here unless he comes back this year and makes a big difference right off the bat.

how good was hardy without johnson last year?

Last year all the threads said that CJ was the more important defensive end after his absence from the MNF leg whip.

Regarding Hardy, don't bring him back. Make some more cuts. Focus the saved money on Cam and Luke extensions and improving the offensive line. Draft wise find some more Benes for the secondary and we are in business.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
