Notable NFL writer, Jason Cole: "Extremely unlikely" Hardy is suspended. Rivera wants him back.


top dawg

I know that some of you hate Bleacher Report, but, basically, I don't care.  Don't hit the link, and don't listen to the interview if it bothers you that much.  It's pretty short and general anyway, based solely on unnamed NFL sources. But, just so you know, Jason Cole has received several awards, including from Pro Football Writer's of America, so I don't believe that he is just talking out his ass.  And, he admittedly says that Hardy could still be suspended IF the NFL could somehow get some damning info regarding his settlement.  

 

He also says that Rivera wants Hardy back and will talk to management about seeing if any kind of deal can be reached.

I think he'll be back if the price is right for both sides.

 

Honestly, if the price is right, and there is some type of keep-your-nose-clean clause in the contract or else, I would be glad to have him back.  Regardless, I hope that he has learned his lesson and sincerely keeps his priorities straight.

I'm operating under the assumption Hardy won't be back.

 

 

But poo, throw him a one year prove it deal, tell him he screwed us with his one year prove it already (franchise tag), and if he does it again he's out. If he stays out of trouble and isn't an idiot, throw him a couple of years with a lot of play based incentives.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
