The Black and Blue Review tweeted an interesting stat about the guaranteed money committed to the 11 signings done this month and the guaranteed money given to Hardy by franchise tagging him.

"&BlackBlueReview: Guaranteed money #Panthers committed to 11 signings the past month = $7.49 mil

Guaranteed money to Hardy in ’14 = $13.1 mil"

It could have paid off. Of course in hind sight it was a bad move but lord knows what we could have done on defense with Hardy and what we could have accomplished without the enormous headache and destraction. Once the team realized he was gone we played like we were capable of.

I read that the Raiders are having trouble attracting top free agents, even though they have lots of cap money to spend. However,i'm not implying that Hardy wouln't go there if offered a decent contract.

 

They sure are. Seems they're to player's contracts like L.A. is to owners wanting new stadiums. Leverage.

 

Heard that Hardy's market is only 2-4 teams. Radioactive to everyone else. Raiders one of the few teams that don't mind problem children. Or at least they didn't under Al Davis. Don't know if his son will keep that going.

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
