I am not as well versed on the whole Hardy debacle, but I was thinking before the season that I hoped he would be contrite and just call the Panthers FO. Don't know if it would happen, but I don't think I would mind him being here if the FO/team felt OK about bringing him back. That said, it would have been way better to do that back in OTAs for reps and for the media storm to already be over.

A poster awhile back made a good, obvious point-this is an election year.  Come September a Hardy Jr signing would be a tempest in a teapot at best from the phony baloney media.

Sure, signing before OTA's is ideal in a normal circumstance.  But this is not a normal circumstance for a variety of reasons.  A 6+ year vested vet with an established rapport with teammates, non-guaranteed post week 1 contract, ensuring a complete offseason of no incidents or false accusations making the bad pub for nothing on the field a complete nightmare, no injuries, continued counseling efforts, successful youth camps, training with the right guy, no media circus for the rest of the team at camp, etc. is honestly more ideal than OTA reps in this circumstance.

Makes sense, although I still have a feeling that he won't be resigned.

Concur but the reason I never said never is because the closer the rubber gets to hitting the road the less sense it makes not to happen.

If every DE currently on the roster stays injury and suspension free, and performs to the height of their ability at this point, it's still an average/barely above average DE unit.  A below average unit is honestly more likely than an above average unit with this group at this point.

The cost of a trade is a 6th rounder for 2 sacks from a multiple DUI has been or a 2nd rounder AND OG taken in the top 10 on a rookie deal for a guy with drug problems whose team didn't want him and has less career sacks than Hardy Jr to boot.

Crawl through the dumpster sniffing for edible ham sandwiches with 31 other bums.

Release the Kraken.

There are no other options.

      If we get to 4-3 do we make a sneaky trade?

      Corbett should move back to guard if anything while being the backup for BC and Lewis. Cade needs to stay at center. That much has been obvious since last year.  Coker needs to be fast tracked to the lineup, preferably starting over XL.  The problem comes with Chubba, JT and Turk... 3 starters that the backups have arguably outperformed. I like JT's ball skills but I'm quickly becoming an Evans fan. Hopefully JT coming back will only affect James Mitchell. Idunno but Rico should be untouchable at the moment...he's on OPTY/MVP pace and Turk should NEVER be utilized as a NT again.

      Looking at the TE situation, does Sanders get on the field if he can't block to the level of TT and ME?  I am 100% on board with Sanders getting Wally Pipped on this one.  We have plenty of WR's, I don't see what huge advantage he gives us over TT or ME, or even James Mitchel at this point.  Canales said when he was hired that the TE was a huge part of his offense.  The blocking displayed by the TE room Sunday was exactly what he meant. I also think the WR rotation ends up being....  TMAC, Coaker, Brycen, XL, Horn, Renfrow.  XL needs to learn to run routes, block his ass off, and be dependable if he wants to get opportunities going forward.  He's about to lose the Trust of BY.  Looking at the top 3 Wr's, I easily see JHJr passing him on the depth chart.  My money is on Renfrow being inactive most games going forward.
