I do too, but I would like to sign him without breaking the bank. I have zero faith in Alexander or Horton to take over for him.

I don't see us breaking the bank for him. I think we will offer him a good deal and it will be kind of a take it or leave it. So far I have no reason to believe gettleman will throw cj money at him. We have too many other needs to fill

I just feel as fans and having no experience in player negotiations, you're not going to get the answer in here. I want to keep Hardy as much as anyone but the dude is such a fuging wildcard. I don't want to overpay. We also have other big contracts coming up.

I would not want to have a sports agent represent me that was not a douche. Same with attorneys. They aren't douches to their clients, just everyone else.

 

 

Also, I don't think we will be able to sign Hardy long term.

I am guessing Gettlemen backed off after Hardy's 3 sack performance.  I imagine he could have another today.  

 

What I would do if I were Gettlemen:  I would take their initial offer and write it on the white board.  Let's say it is for $12 million.  Then I would hand out copies of his 50 sack promise.  I would write a big 50 on the board.  Then I would draw a line above the 50 and write down how many actual sacks he has, thus creating a fraction that demonstrates his underachievement.  I would convert that fraction into a percentage (let's say 10%) and multiply $12 million by 10%.  I would then write down "$1.2 million" on a piece of paper, turn it face down on the table, and slide it to Hardy and his agent.

 

Boom.

We know there have been discussions. You can assume they're ongoing, but no way to know where they stand right now.

Gettleman wouldn't have previously been in a position where he'd have negotiated directly with Rosenhaus, but you gotta figure he's familiar with him (and likely well acquainted) given all his years in front office positions.

This was actually clever and well thought out.

But public ridicule I don't think is the best way to resign our potential free agents.

Just a joke Monsta.--Nobody expected Hardy to get 50 sacks, including Hardy and his agent. Since he is doing well and the 50 sacks was just a "tongue-in-cheek" comment, it was not meant to ridicule.   I do not think we can re-sign him  because Marty paid CJ too much.  I would consider trading CJ to re-sign Hardy, but I do not like the idea of losing Hardy.  I smell a franchise tag situation.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
