Could Hardy be holding out?

No Kraken. RT @jjones9: No sign of Greg Hardy here at OTAs. Didn't see him last Thursday either. Rivera said he was here last Tues and Wed

 

According to this it seems Hardy has not been doing OTAs since last week. I'm sure it ain't no big deal. But does anyone get a feeling that he could be holding out for a long term contract with the Panthers?

He is prob just catchin up on his email. Haha!

[csx]

He's busy with his online life.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

let's ask him

[mbarbour21]

Then again, he did say he would be there everyday workin out until he was the greatest.....

He saw the thread about Panthers being under the cap. Said pay me now.

 

 

 

 

So I guess pay him?

[Pantherman]

I'm sure if this is the cause then Dave would be right on top of this. Hardy to important to have him holding out.

[TheRed]

I'm thinking we would have heard about that by now if such was the case....

 

Remove this thread.

$8,700,000 in dead money next year. You have to think G-man has that in consideration as well. Cutting Beason next year with a June 1st designation could free the money to pay Hardy next year. Yeah I know the "it's smarter to pay him now" theory, but if he's hunting for $10M+ like I'm sure he's wanting, signing him now won't bring his price down.

Maybe holding out for his army

Maybe with his huddle appearance, someone is trolling him hoping he responds to this directly...

OTAs are optional. The mini-camp is mandatory. Fug it. I doubt he's somewhere eating corn dogs and chilling.

Hey Greg, why are you skipping OTAs ??

[Toundra]

He is trying to answer 1.000.000 emails, He may even miss the season..

Greg forget my email then, and go back to work. ;-)
