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

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
