NFL: Greg Hardy won't be reinstated because he hasn't been disciplined yet

There are guys who never get charged with a crime that get punished.

This isn't the legal system. We are talking about the NFL. They can and do punish guys for making them look bad....they don't need a court or a guilty verdict or even a charge

 

Please, try your hardest to give me a reasonable explanation of why and how he made them look bad. I'm not saying they won't punish him based on that, given how Goodell and his minions have shown how they respond to these types of things. I'm saying any punishment would be outrageously unfair. And people should cry about it, because anybody who believes in fairness and doing the right thing should want Hardy immediately reinstated.

Don't know. Don't really care that much. I emotionally moved on from Hardy long ago

 

You keep saying "he was found guilty, then he paid her off" yet you then say you don't know whether he paid her off and that the NC law which was why he was found guilty is irrelevant. Wouldn't expect anything else from you, my friend.

Hardy was franchised last year for roughly $13.5MM

Whatever deal he signs as a free agent will likely pay home in the $7MM-$9MM range his first year.

So if he does get suspended this next season it will come at a cost of roughly $400,000-$550,000 per game instead of a cost of $850,000 per game that it would have cost him this year.

Hardy's financial people know this and that is why it was smart for him to go on the Guantanamo Bay list and keep getting paid. Now he'll sign a deal at half the annual salary in year one, get suspended two games for $800,000 total and make out like a bandit.

The math isn't difficult to see why he did what he did.

I say he was found guilty bc he was.

I say he appealed

I say he paid her off before round 2

And I say the quirky NC law that voids the first verdict technically speaking ....isn't something that makes it all go away for Hardy in terms of the NFL looking. He will be punished.

That is what I say.

Last thing I'll say before I go eat...

People confuse something. The fact he doesn't have a guilty verdict....doesn't mean punishment should be thrown out the window. That means he doesn't go to jail or face legal punishment. His job is a totally different ballgame.

Goodell needs to poo or get off the pot.

 

 

 

 

Want to punish Hardy?  Then name the punishment already.  2 games, 4 games, 6 games, 8 games,  etc.

 

 

 

Right now it just seems like they have nothing to really punish him for...........and that's what the investigation is about,  to try and find something to justify a punishment.                     I agree that the commish list is complete BS.   Is it still a "paid vacation" if the commish list extends into next season,  for Hardy........and no team touches him?

Double fuggin jeopardy. Jesus Christ it baffles me how they can't just dock Hardy money for games and be done with it.. The max punishment is 6 games, he sat out 13. What am I missing here people?!?

So a person shopslifts, spends two years in jail awaiting trial, the max punishment is one year, so the judge sentences him to one year and uses the excuse "yea but the two years you spent in prison was because you were awaiting trial." WTF kinda bs is the NFL doing?

 

You are completely missing the fact that he was PAID for all 13 games that he did not play last year.

 

So NO....he really has NOT been disciplined yet.

 

The NFL needs to get moving and suspend Greg for anywhere from 2-6 games and get this resolved.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
