Hardy may be the best free agent out there


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

this site ranks him the second behind Jimmy Graham, and the Saints won't let him get away.

 

In other words, Hardy is gonna get offers that we can't come close to matching.

 

Gonna miss the Kracken a lot.

Tag and trade him.

And yeah, he's right up there in terms of FA edge rushers.

Hardy -probably gone

Bennett - Not sure Seattle has enough room to keep him

Johnson - Bengals have room to re-sign

Orakpo - Pretty sure Was keeps him

Houston - Raiders have way too much room to let him go.

So if Cincy keeps Johnson, and Bennett is off the market, Hardy will command tons of offers. We need to get something for him.

Can't trade a guy who isn't under contract. We'd have to do an NBA-style sign-and-trade but we'd be stuck with whatever guaranteed money he signs for. Either re-sign (or franchise) him or let him walk and hope for a third round comp pick.

He will be tagged before he is allowed on the open market.

i dont think so.  yea he had 15 sacks but 7 came in two games.  there were quite a few games where he was near absent, kinda like yesterday.  not saying he didnt do some good stuff, hell they only threw 4 passes in the second half but i think there are more consistent, productive players available.  with that said, i hope we can keep him or at least tag/trade him.  i trust DG will do the best thing

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
