It could be worse. We could have extended Hardy for big money before the season.

Phew, now that was close. I praise Gettleman for not flinching and signing Hardy to a big contract. I really hate to say I told you so, but I believe most in here will remember my post a few weeks ago titled "Why resigning Hardy would be a mistake." And boy oh Boy im glad Gettleman shared my thoughts.

Imagine how much more mad we would be now had Gettleman extended Hardy for a 40 million or so contract. Yes we are stinking it up now, but alteast we dont have another big contract tied up in another overrated (yes I said it, OVERRATED) player from the Hurney era. Hardy is ok but put him on a team stacked with pro bowler DEs and hes the backup.

Man Gettleman is a pure genius. He knew not to sign big money to these Hurney players because he knew many of them simply arent worth it. Now I hope Gettleman really gets the ball rolling and blows this team up, get rid of the lingering Hurney/Fox stench and start over fresh.

yeah he's been pretty disappointing so far

I was right when I said resigning Stewie was a huge mistake and I was right about Hardy. Extending a player for a big contract after just one year of good play is downright foolish. I would much rather pay bigger money if the player has another good season then extending a player with pne good season and hope and pray it works out.

And just think, Hardy is in a contract year and stinking it up, Imagine if he already got his big contract.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
