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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
