People forget Hardy loves this team and is close to a lot of guys here. He also mentioned how he "felt bad" for getting all this cash for literally 1 game. If we offered him a hometown discount, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take it.

 

But then again I wouldn't be surprised to see his eyes open up and him flee when teams offer him huge cash.

 

But seriously, I hope we can keep him but I'm not going to bank on it

Didn't read whole thread

 

 

Was under the impression,  that it was Goodell and Richardson working in tandem,  that got Hardy off the field last season

 

Goodell couldn't just suspend Hardy without the players' union jumping down his throat,  so in pops the commish list,  only the commish list doesn't work unless Hardy signs the little piece of paper agreeing to be placed on it       Only way to get Hardy to agree to sign the little piece of paper was the Panthers' strong arming Hardy,  by deactivating him,  and threatening to keep deactivating him for the rest of the season

 

 

Unless Goodell has total control over our roster and can tell our team who they can play and who they can not play,  then I don't know how last season wasn't on Richardson just as much as it was on Goodell..

 

 

Like I said,  That was from my understanding,  if I'm wrong,  feel free to correct

Both sides said they were negotiating and/or would continue negotiating. That's what I know and that was what was reported.

You seem to have a need to be right about something Voth allegedly tweeted.

Move along.

He did more than tweet...

When the Panthers put the franchise tag on Greg Hardy, they never intended to sign him to a long-term deal. He was a rental, and it made sense. The best way to make another playoff run while rebuilding at other spots was to keep the dominant front seven intact. Hardy’s legal situation threw a wrench into that plan. And while Gettleman and Rivera won’t come right out and say it, Hardy is not in the franchise’s future plans.

So, you have a better source than Voth?

I am hearing from what I consider a reliable source that the payoff was in the range of $4M.

This person is a huddler, so they may eventually post on this.

Four million? Good gravy, who in the hell would advise Hardy to think that was a fair amount? If true it just shows why these athletes go broke.

idk man... not having to sit thru a trial and have your name drug thru the mud...  having it totally dismissed and being able to sign a top dollar FA contract in the NFL?

 

$4M don't sound too bad... esp considering that left him $9M from 2014 (minus taxes of course) that he has already.

 

Money is all relative.

He made that statement with no evidence or sources. 6-9 months after what we are discussing. It's a pure opinion piece.

Why do you keep referring to it? It's dumb.

What's your source that shows he's wrong?

Do you have a better insider relationship with the team than he does?

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      By cranky · Posted

      The best part is they compliment each other. Chuba is a more patient runner, patiently waiting for gaps to form while Rico is more explosive. I wish they would use Rico more like McCaffery was used - getting him the ball in space to take advantage of his explosivness and violence. Then have Chuba pound the middle for the tough yards.

      I loved those late 90s-early 2000s Miami teams.  If McGahee hadn’t had that injury, he would probably have been a Top 10 all-time rusher, no doubt in my mind.  The fact he didn’t lose his leg below the knee is still a miracle.  And the fact he came back from that, made it in the NFL, and still carved out a career that included over 8k yards rushing and two pro bowls is damn impressive.  It just demonstrates how good he would have been had he never had the injury.  Prior to that, he was like nothing I had ever seen.  Like a bigger, more physical and elusive Reggie Bush.

      Boozer may end up going higher in the draft, but agree about Caleb Wilson. Give me that dude, think he's going to translate very well and has the attitude I want on a young team.  My perfect world as of now... Trade anything not bolted down as far as vet's go. Sexton is on an expiring and would be an easy flip. Bridges, just get him somewhere else. One year left on a low $20 mil deal should be an easy trade...but the apron for many teams could haunt us.  LaMelo is the issue. Likely would have to trade our problem to someone else for their problem (Ja, Zion, Zach Lavine) to make contracts somewhat match up.  I want to build around last year's draft class, get as many bites at this draft class as possible, etc. If we get lucky and get #1 or #2, wonderful. If not, get into the top 5 or so and grab Caleb Wilson.
