I hope Hardy doesn't bow down to this joke of a league. I've accepted he won't be playing with us, but he shouldn't have to accept a damn thing considering he was only supposed to be put on the list until his case came to a resolution.

Well, it came to a resolution and they are still dicking him around and it's not right.

Local news was saying he agreed to give the league the trial documents they've been asking for.

Would you interpret his willingness to compromise on this as a sign that the money means more to I'm than his reputation?

No. That would be an unfair interpretation.  There are more than a few guys out there who would tire of the situation and do what it takes to play football (which is what a pro competitor worth his salt wants to do, not sit on his ass and collect money). That being said, I wouldn't mind if Hardy would take a stand, but it's his life and career.  There will undoubtedly be another who will be willing to fight more battles. 

 

Edit: And, in my opinion, his reputation has already been damaged.  The best way for him to repair it is to stay out of trouble and be a beast on the football field, and a civic-minded citizen off the field.

Got a mention over at NFL.com re Andre Johnson landing spots:

Other possibilities:

Carolina Panthers: GM Dave Gettleman is still trying to rebuild his wide receiver group after last year's purge. Johnson lining up across from Kelvin Benjamin isn't a bad thought.

Yeh, but can't believe they put ATL in front of us. Surprised they are currently considered a Super Bowl contender.

I think its the only way he gets off the list before FA ends. The NFL is not going to be wrong in this situation even when all the evidence points that way.

In number news, Bills RB C J Spiller had reportedly turned down a deal for 4.5 million from the Bills (prompting the trade for LeSean McCoy) while a reporter for ESPN thinks Rams OT Joe Barksdale will be looking for a contract around 7 million a year or so.  And in Green Bay, WR Randall Cobb reportedly turned down an offer for a five year deal that would have paid hem between 8 and 9 million per year.

 

 

 

Mr. Barksdale has a very high opinion of himself, methinks.

 

And it would seem like that number would be right around what Cobb deserves... maybe the guaranteed money that was offered was crappy?

    • I would say the extremes from both camps in these conversations have to do with the blurring of the fact Bryce is a first overall pick and the expectations for that draft slot fair or not far exceed just being a top 20-25 starter amongst your peers. Regardless. All logical Panthers fans want him to be the answer.
    • The offseason is always when hope springs eternal. If you look past that, you can see a very bad roster with a lot more questions than definitive answers. Let's hope we get a lot of those right, because I think we are a lot closer to another impatient Tepper reset than we probably think.
    • These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.
