Say Hardy walks...

I want him to stay. He's good, crazy, and has an attitude that defenses cant have enough of. But… I just don't know how we can plan to pay him, Cam, and Luke in the future, and still have to fill like 20 spots? What I'm getting at is this. Getty loves "hog maulies" and I figure him to go after O-line early in the draft. By not signing hardy would we have enough cap to sign the likes of a Eric Decker if he was to hit the market? What kind of money would he cost? Couldn't be as bad as Hardy… I haven't seen much said about Decker. Its just so hard to get it right with WR in the draft.

If I'm correct, right now we have around 15 mil in cap space.

 

By making Dwill and Godfrey "June 1" cuts, that would free another additional 5-6 mil bumping us to 21mil. Some guys will be retained, but hopefully others will too restructure their contracts: Stewart, CJ, Olsen, Smitty, Kalil, and TD.

 

We should be able to make at least 1 or 2 bold moves, but Im not a fan of Eric Decker. I just dont see Decker having that kind of impact he is having in Denver here in Carolina. I'd rather go Nicks or probably a cheaper mover "Golden Tate".

I can see Decker leaving Denver if offered a ridiculous contract. I don't believe he's worth a huge contract. If Hardy walks, I would like to see Gettleman throw his hat in the ring for someone like Justin Tuck. The connection is there. Wouldn't mind taking a shot at Tillman and Nicks/Maclin assuming it wouldn't require a big contract to sign. We need the cap but we need to stay revelant also.

if hardy walks, what you have to do is look at whatever contract numbers he gets from his new team and compare that to what we do with that money saved.

 

people are all concerned about making sure that we get something for hardy...well...cap space is something. if it helps lock up guys like cam and keek down the road and also allow us to bring in more talent in key areas without seeing a significant drop off in defense but seeing improvement on offense, then it was a good decision.

 

i like hardy, but as good as he is and as dominant a personality as he has, he's not worth sacrificing talent in other areas.

 

if we didn't have stewart's contract hanging over our heads and if CJ hadn't been given the monstrous contract he was (which i think was probably overkill), and of course weren't still dealing with leftover crappy cap stuff thanks to hurndog, we might not be in this situation.

 

but we are.

 

i hope we can work it out for him to stay, but i have to have faith in gettleman that he will make this team stronger in spite of losing hardy if that happens.

What about cap rollover from this season? Couldn't that give us closer to $25 mil in cap space?

Nicks scares me, and would cost more… and what has Mario done? or Tate? I may be totally wrong here but isn't Mario and Tate close to the same as a Ginn or  Lafell? Decker does have Manning but it cant be all Manning. He didn't have the yards before he came but he did have the TD's. We need targets. Im not saying Decker would be all we need but it would be a damn good start.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
