Greg Hardy not getting a warm reception ....

SANTA CLARA -- General manager Trent Baalke didn't mince words when it came to the 49ers' interest in Panthers free-agent pass rusher Greg Hardy. The team doesn't have any, he said firmly.

"There's been no contact with Greg Hardy or any representative of his," Baalke said during a half-hour sit down with reporters on Wednesday. “There is no interest that we’ve shown, nor will we show, in bringing Greg Hardy into this program."

Bleacher Report reported this week that the 49ers would have the most interest in Hardy, who had been involved in a high-profile domestic abuse case in North Carolina and who, while remaining on the commissioner’s so-called “exempt list,” is a free agent. Prosecutors dismissed charges against Hardy last month after they said the accuser in the case couldn't be located.

 

 

 

 

 

Bleacher Report says San Fran has the most interest in Hardy. San Fran says "not a chance". 

 

Welp, gotta love baseless speculation by BR. It gets the clicks, and fools many people into believing they are legit.

A few weeks ago Dungy speculated on ESPN that at least half of the NFL would not touch him and that only 2-4 teams will show any serious interest. Made sense then and may be coming true.

 

EDIT: It actually may have been Herm who said it.

Does anyone not suspect that half of these rumors have come from Rosenhaus, trying to manufacture some need for his client?

 

 

Of course they are. Thats what he does, as he should.

 

The problem is legitimate news sources know this and won't run with a story based on only an agent's word. 

 

This is why I don't like people posting BR "articles" here and try to pass them off as legitimate. You might as well take the average Huddle topic and promote it the same way.

I don't know how good of a strategy "no one wants my guy" is for negotiating a higher contract, but I suppose it's possible.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 3 Rd 3 8pm

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.

      Yet I bet you he still is able to pressure him. I guess it depends on your bottom line evaluation of what Bryce is. In my opinion he is low hanging fruit for anyone with even a D game.
