You have absolutely zero idea of what Hardy has asked for. You can only speculate. It could be a few million apart or only the actual structure of the deal that is the separation. Everyone can easily be kept depending on how you structure the deals/escalators, roster bonuses, guarantee money. Just have to plan far enough ahead.

Considering he turned down 32 million, so it appears from the looks of it, he wants more than a 4 year 32 million dollar contract.

no more than 8mil a year.  matches his production level and he's not the best DE on the team.  i absolutely love hardy but he isn't essential to our success.  a heavy rotation of the guys we got now over on his side would be sufficient, especially with our DTs and we could spend a late round draft pick on a DE if needed.

Good thing about Hardy is how damn versatile he is.  Yeah we have good depth, and no he isn't the best pass rusher on the team... but he's literally good at everything.  Even dropping back into coverage.

 

That's where is value is and why he's so important to the d-line imo.

DG knows how important a stout Dline is.....the stuff you see happening on D this year was drafted and patched together by him and RR, (SM gets a nod and Hurney even had a good draft pick or three).DG will pull something out of his arz to keep this nucleus together....dominating defenses don't come along every day.Hardy is a very good player and should be resigned if possible.....unless his douche bag of an agent gets in his ear.

Maybe he wants 33 mill. Remember Flacco's contract was off by 1 million dollars and that's why he rolled the dice.  If the price is too high then we have no choice but to move on.  But no one knows for sure.  Maybe it's the length of the deal that is the problem.

Not only do we have no idea what he asked for, we have no idea if this speculation is even close to accurate. The most likely scenario is either it's entirely fabricated, or an offer was made and Hardy's agent tabled it and said wait til after the season. He hasn't been confirmed as turning anything down. There isn't confirmation of any sorts (that I'm aware of) that he's even been given an offer.
