Hardy says he'll take a hometown discount from Panthers

[Ruff]

Him leaving would result in a 3rd round comp pick I'm guessing?

Not matter the result, even the sad one of him leaving, will net us one hell of an investment off a 6th rounder.

Comp picks are based on the leaving players performance the following season and if a player was signed to fill the void of the free agent that left.

Tl;dr - it's almost impossible to say what he would get in comp picks.

Franchise tag

regarding negotiations on draft day, that severely handicaps leverage for the franchise considering the cap hell we are in and on the hook for another ~11mil..  if that's even possible.  

 

edit: nevermind, you may not have been talking about sign and trade, but instead, just keeping him around..  still, I don't think franchise tag is all too realistic..

that's one way to look at it, assuming we even get a 3rd, but he's playing like a 1st round pick despite where he was drafted so we're still losing out...

why don't you help us out.

 

bc I'm not enrolled on the Panthers' salary. That's why.

do you even lift?

[Snake]

Not many Players come out and just say that. We know, just as well as Hardy knows, he is worth a whole lot of money that we might not have.

wtf

[Phantom]

Where are our 50 sacks first?

[cultclassiccat]

well what can we afford exactly?  with our list of free agents and possible dead money deductions, whats going to be the max number we are comfortable with?  someone smarter than me figure it out please and thank you.

The sad part of this business you have to pick and choose your core players.  If CJ is our #1 DE then Hardy won't get #1 DE money.   We have some young guys just like Hardy who are behind him waiting for their chance.

 

If he wants top 10 DE money he is going to have to get it elsewhere. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I want him to stay but I just don't see us offering him the money he wants regardless of the "discount" he is giving us. 

 

I am predicting he walks.  Sadly but true.

Dat's my Kraken!

The more coats you donate, the greater the discount will be, so get to donating coats to charity Huddlers!

CBS has a story this morning on some of the teams with massive upcoming cap space. They have Hardy's picture at the top.
