Greg Hardy not getting a warm reception ....

[Jeremy Igo]

 

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.

Not surprising since the 49ers have had recent domestic violence issues of their own.

Also Dwan Edwards had a quote this morning:

@josephperson: AM repost: Dwan Edwards on #Panthers not re-signing Greg Hardy: "It's bigger than football sometimes."

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.

You sneaky devil. You know damn well this thread was designed to tug at the heart strings of people that think there is a chance he comes back.

Well I won't fall for it.

But I do like your style Igo.

They've had enough of these problems already.  Not surprised.  Somebody will pick him up.

SF already has Aldon Smith, I don't think they need another wildcard like Hardy on the team

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

So you mean, we're starting to hold athletes accountable for their actions?

 

What a novel idea...

Also, Ray McDonald and Bruce Miller. They don't need any more attention.

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.
