So we don't have a game for ten days - let's talk about some non-pressing issues. Apologies if it's been mentioned before. Where has Frank been? Obviously a bad sign that he's been inactive for a couple of games and he's had zero impact during the games he's dressed for. Past two years he's been great as a 'change of pace' pass rusher. If he keeps this up, Hardy's gonna take us to the cleaners. Wonder if this is destined to be another Hurney folly...

Saw him last night applying some pressure but not really getting off his blocks.

"DON'T RESIGN HARDY, FRANK IS THE SAME!"

Hardy's awesome - but he definitely benefits from having CJ over there. CJ is a pretty amazing all-around DE, if you look at the advanced stats from PFF, etc. I'm not sure how'd Hardy would be as a one-man show. Ray Edwards-esque, maybe? He's gonna demand a ton, and I don't think he's going to live up to it. Gettleman undoubtedly knows this but he may have to pay him anyway.

Hardy will not get the jackpot he wants here.  He can read the writing on the wall and sign with a team that will be a perennial playoff team for the next 12 years or test the open market.

 

I want him to stay, but there are too many upcoming contracts to give him Hurney money.  We can make him a main cog but we cannot afford to make him a made man.

 

Oh, and Frank is about what Hardy was at the same juncture in their respective careers, without the trouble.  I love Kraken but Hurney screwed us good for the next 3 years. 

 

Dumpster diving coming up.

Can't really and truly tell by the bucs game, there oline was getting away with alot of holds

 

It was insane the amount holds the Bucs were getting away with.  It was the worst I've seen in a game that I can remember.  It all became clear to me when I saw who the officiating crew was though...Boger's.  Worst officiating crew in the NFL.  I was literally yelling at my computer screen over the holds that were getting ignored.

Can't see how Gettleman, who has spent most of his time with the Panthers trying to renegotiate Hurney's bloated contracts, would increase the team's previous offer to Hardy.

 

Either Hardy comes to terms with the Panther's offer or he moves on to another team.

 

There has STILL been nothing even remotely official or reliable that has indicated an offer was made or that Hardy rejected anything.

The Falcons were making moves to snag CJ at the end of his first contract, and we blew them away with a huge contract. Here's hoping ATL doesn't come sniffing around again for Hardy. Finding a guy like Hardy, with his size and speed, you usually have to spend a high pick. I'd rather offer him a favorable (but not CJ crazy) deal. Alexandar should remain a rotational guy imo. Keep Kracken.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
