Hardy franchise tag and hurt the cap or FA DE signing...what you say?

I know most folks on here doubt DG would use the tag on Hardy and dump 12 mill onto the cap......would you be willing to offer 10 or 10.5 mill a year,front loaded contract for three or four years (word is he turned down 8 mill a year) and cut or restructure to keep him or take the alternative...sign someone like Jared Allen as a FA for less (maybe has a couple years left). Thnk we have to many pressing needs on offense to do this in the draft. This may be Hardys last regular season game in the black and blue so this is a relevant question. Hate to seem him go to the black hole in Oakland.Can we get this done?

Is it better for a player to take 10 million and stay on a defense where he has the chance for his name to be on Sportscenter over and over and over because of his exploits gaining him tons of endorsements?  Or is it better for him to make 12 million and go to a team where he will struggle for the next 5 years because of the double teams and be out of sight/out of mind?

We will have from February to next season to talk about this.

People are so used to having nothing to talk about but offseason moves this time of year so I think it's mainly just habit. People are still in playoff denial. If we win 4 more games we are the Super Bowls champions, fug the offseason and salary cap haha

Come on man 8 million a year still isnt enough...let him walk we cant hinder this team anymore than it already is by lucrative deals like the ones cj dwill and j stew got we need to think about the future cams deal is coming very soon

 

while we're at it why not let Cam and Keek walk, too?  Why hinder the team with lucrative deals?

 

cj's deal wasn't bad imo... we needed him

 

we need to pay our young stars, and hardy is one of them... but we're not gonna overpay him because DG doesn't seem to do that

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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.
    • 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
