As it stands, I'm all for the tag and trade idea for Greg Hardy. I love what the guy brings to the team and if a deal gets worked out to keep him here, fantastic. However, the kind of money he's earned would hold the team back, and the cap situation we're in kind of demands we'll have to find most of our long term solutions in the draft. Extra picks would be nice, and we haven't had a high caliber player worth pulling this kind of move with in a while. So, I think it works out best to trade him.

Question is, to who?

Oakland, Jacksonville, and Cleveland.

 

They're the only three team with high picks or more than enough picks that can afford to sign Hardy to a long term contract. All three are in top 5 with the most cap if Im correct. Not just that, all three are AFC teams and in need of a pass rusher like Hardy.

 

But when is the earliest date that we can franchise him?

But if we tag him we are hit in cap space by the tag price which is 10mil for a DE right?

 

Not if he is traded.

 

You tag a player and that 12.8 goes against your cap space, if you trade that player inside the franchise tag framework the team that signs the player gets the picks. 

 

Personally I hope we use the non-exclusives rights tag on Greg. It allows teams to work out a deal with him, then we either match the deal or they give us some picks.

 

 

I think the Raiders would be ideal for Greg. It takes him out of the NFC and out of our hair for a bit, not to mention he would immediately become the icon of that defense for the next few years.  Jacksonville could use some hype as well. 

 

I want the best for both parties here, Greg to get a fair deal and the Panthers to either have him or in position to make the loss of him much less damaging. 

With our lack of cap, plethora of needs, getting compensation for Greg could be everyones best option.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
