The Hardy ship has sailed.

Honestly, there's a few I wouldn't mind keeping, but nobody that just screams "we must re-sign him".

Pretty much all replaceable.

Top DE's aren't that easy to replace. One like Hardy is even harder to replace because he's fast enough to play DE and strong enough to play DT. Good ones are very hard to come by. That's why we were almost looking at Peppers again.

If I'm the owner I'm not paying you 13mill to walk away! No! You owe me! Big time! He'd work off every penny in a more team friendly deal.

Yeah, good luck telling Hardy that.

Bill Voth made it pretty clear that Gettleman only wanted Hardy for this one season, and then would move on from him after this year; that a multi-year contract was out of the picture.

Whitaker has a 3.6 average this season, and people think that we should keep him. SMH

 

 

It's OK to raise your expectations beyond utter mediocrity, 

 

we have a terrible o-line

 

he's young

 

he appears to be a pretty good returner

 

he's cheap

It'll be so funny when the Falcons sign him, just because. I don't think ownership here is concerned about winning. Young people make mistakes. The talent margins are so slim in the NFL that you can't treat your top five player just like the 53rd guy. I couldn't pay him the money he previously wanted because of the risk but I keep him here to play football, because that's what his job is and he's one of the best at it. Ownership isn't in the football business it would seem so if Gettleman has already made a decision I'd be sure JR is in the background because well, Jerry doesn't always put the best product on the field and it took us 20yrs to figure that out. Nice guy though

I find it funny how people hold football players to a higher standard than their own public officials because of $ or limelight. These are just people no more, no less.

Honestly, I don't think it has anything to do with his legal issues.  We are in such a situation that we HAVE to let him go.  Keeping him only means we have to shell out the big bucks WE DON'T HAVE.  

 

Keeping him puts Gettleman right back into the same situation we were in this year.  No money to sign any top tier free agents.  I love the bargain basement player as much as the next guy (when he turns in a gem of a season) 

 

I can only assume G-man is ready to get out of the one year lease a lemon and actually get into a 2 or 3 yr deals with some solid talent.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
