[Happy Panther]

When asked about the flag/kneeling he recited the pledge of allegiance or something? Can someone clarify what people are tweeting regarding this?

He was making particular emphasis on the "liberty and justice for all" part. Seems to be implying that he's pro protest.

  What are the other 31 teams in the NFL doing then? If Hardy is a GUARANTEED SB win, One would think he would have plenty of opportunities to play?  

  Why isn’t he still a Cowboy? They had the last long look at him. Was he just too good? Did they trade him to the CFL? Surely they got something for him. 

   

The Cowboys had Brandon Weeden at QB and we’re a circus.  He still played well for them.  The Bucs and Jags were interested but they, and others, unlike the Panthers, have splurged on DE’s high in the draft, in FA, and/or trades.  

The last LONG look at him we’re our Carolina Panthers, who, after FOUR years, franchise tagged him.  And, our “great” fans, who, after four years, enthusiastically supported him on national TV after the “bench trial” (KC preseason game 2014 (pictured)).

  So Brandon Weeden is now the cause of Hardy not playing in the NFL? Sure. That sounds good. On what planet, would that cause any team to not retain a player that would “guarantee” a SB. For vet minimum. Because if he was willing to go to the CFL, I’m sure he would have took any offer. 

  I don’t care about four years ago. Fair or not, Hardy could have salvaged his career but simply going to Dallas and acting normal. Instead, he acted like an idiot, and made every team think he’s more trouble than he’s worth. Yet you bring him up constantly, as some sort of realistic option for any team. The only reason Greg Hardy isn’t playing in the NFL is Greg Hardy.

    Maybe you and Sanjay can start a TEs and Greg Hardy board and quit hijacking actual relevant threads.

Thriving both on the field, in the community, and as a teammate for the Richmond Roughriders and (literally) kicking a$$ and taking names in MMA in 2018 should weigh far more heavily than 2015 in Big D (where he was also damn good on the football field).  The man has grown in every way imaginable, and the Panthers still need an all around DE that isn’t pushing 40.

[Mr. Scot]

Hey @rayzor or some other mod, would you mind locking this thread?

The presser is over and goodness knows we don't need another Greg Hardy discussion.

  So playing Arena ball and winning a entry-level MMA fight is what we are searching for now? And, once again, why is no other team on this pillar of the community? You seem to dance around that in every post. Any team could have him.for less than 1M(with no guarantee)for 2016-2018, yet don’t even consider picking up the phone. It must be fun to live in fantasy land, but it’s time to let the “man-crush” or just regular “crush”(not that there’s anything wrong with that) go.

Other teams

1) have addressed their DE situation in ways this franchise still has obviously not

2) have either won the Super Bowl (many multiple times) and/or don’t have “brass balls” like Dave Tepper himself claims to

3) most importantly, don’t have a GM and coaching staff that love the guy, and players that have plead with a disgraced former owner on his behalf, all showing their own “brass balls” that Tepper hasn’t showed here yet

 Let’s see....Ahh forget it. I took my turn pistol-whipping the blind kid. Someone else can have him. Or was I last in line?

Greg Hardy won't be back.
