Hardy's Intent

Starting to wonder if this fiasco surrounding Hardy is by design on his behalf?

Fact: Players hate the tag because if the player suffers a career ending injury then a huge payday is lost.

Some parts of this ordeal seem so ridiculous that you would almost think Hardy has no desire to play this season. What say you to the notion that Hardy has fabricated this event in order to keep the current payday while hitting the open market next year in healthy form?

It is ridiculous to suggest he fabricated everything given he played game 1 and then the Ray Ray thing happened. But he and his lawyer had no reason not to postpone things since he gets all 13 million to sit and if suspended next season he will be likely earning less and his 6 game suspension will cost millions less next year than it would this year.

You, my good friend, have said the most stupid thing today. Upon seeing your dumbassery, I was caught between two notions, both the emphatic desire to laugh, but also to cry a long hard cry, one which caused me to immediately void my bowels. If I could, I would remove your ability to create posts immediately. Unfortunately I cannot do so, but I will tell you this: You fuging suck.

Lol, easy guys. It's not a secret that players dread the tag. Hardy had played for pennies on his level of production. Now DG says, no CJ contract for you....we will just tag you.

Mere days later, the "incident" occurs. He is being treated as bad as Ray Rice over a bunch of he said/she said BS.

Did players know about the Rice thing before it blew up?

Pay Holder 50,000 to act the part?

Make no effort to express the desire to play?

How many honestly think he will not win the appeal? That conviently gets pushed back past the close of the season?

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
