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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
