How much money would it have taken to change your mind about the case?

So, it's being whispered that Hardy made Holder go away by paying her off.  Personally, based on my admittedly low level of knowledge of the case, I think he would have been found innocent anyway.  But that would have meant legal fees at the very least, and at the worst he would have been found guilty and then been exposed to potential civil liability.

 

If I heard that he gave her millions to go away, I would probably change my mind considerably.  Right now I'm betting the number is closer to 50K.

 

What do you guys think?  And what number would change your current thinking to something different?

Dude, you've been around here for a long time and Ive always thought you were a sharp dude.  Don't always agree with you but BFD.

 

You gotta admit that a tweet about something like this that is unsupported and unattributed is little more than rumor.

 

This is something that Person tweeted.  Given that he's covered the team for a while, and that he's attributing this to State officials that he's presumably been in contact with about the case, it's probably a little more than some conspiracy level rumor.  And frankly, it makes a lot of sense for Hardy to pay her to go away, the only question is how much.  And that depends on whether it's nuisance money or something to really help him avoid serious liability.  Basically, it has a ring of truth to it.

 

I also wonder how long it is before the number is leaked, and which side does the leaking...

Look. The amount of money he will likely get on his next contract there is a chance he paid a significant amount just to make it go away instead of relying on a jury.

Jury trial is not a given and anything can happen.

He would make sense to just make it go away and mitigate risk of future earnings.

And none of that is an admission of guilt. Just making sure it gets done in most beneficial way (For Hardy)

My thinking exactly.  That's why I'm thinking in the 50K range too, but if it was in the million dollar area that's real money and he would probably fight it if his attorneys felt he had a strong case.

I think when the District Attorneys office says it in their official statement as to why they were dismissing charges, it's probably a little more than just a rumor via tweet.

 

In a statement explaining the decision to dismiss charges, the district attorney's office said it has "reliable information" that Holder and Hardy have reached a civil settlement and that she has "intentionally made herself unavailable to the State."

Prosecutors have been unable to locate Holder to issue her a subpoena, which would have compelled her to testify in the trial. Holder's civil attorney also has refused to assist prosecutors in locating his client.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
