Man, if the Franchaise Tag is that high for Hardy, may as well try to hammer out a deal.  I'm not sure how much market there is for a pass rusher this year.  Last year was a very bad year to be a FA pass rusher...

 

I guess it also depends on how many good pass rushers are in the draft.  If it's a dry position, then the market for Hardy could heat up...

You can franchise a player and then trade, i.e the Jets and Revis.

The Jets did not franchise Revis.

Theres always a need for pass rusher in this league. Hardy is the top on the list and is age help draw a lot of teams.

Im just hoping that we can atleast get something for him. I dont want us to be in the same situation we were with Peppers. Two teams that could use a pass rusher like Hardy are: Browns and Jags.

Jordan Mathews number 87 is waiting on you..

I would personally love to see Hardy get 9-10 mill a year and then we could draft Matthews or Lewan at 28. But that's a dream scenario and I'm not sure what the cap is looking like for the future
