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

Recommended Posts

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

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
