Greg Hardy says Panther negotiations yet to begin.

[CatMan72]

Per Scott Fowler: 

 

 

Like quarterback Cam Newton, Panther defensive end Greg Hardy is also in New York, taking a bite out of the Big Apple. Both men have logged some serious time on airplanes in the past week, having played in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii Sunday. 

 

"I'm here to see everybody and be seen," Hardy told me Thursday afternoon. He sported a gray suit with a name tag attached that read "Kraken!"

 

Hardy, an unrestricted free agent, said he and the Panthers have not begun contract negotiations. 

 

"They are still working on their cap situation as I understand," he said. "We're playing the waiting game right now.... If they can afford me, man, I'd love to be there. That's my team. My family. We got a good thing going right now."

Good. That money is better spent elsewhere IMO. I have a feeling Hardy has one thing on his mind and it's straight cash homie. I want straight rings homie.

I think Hardy really, really wants to be here. He is always talking about getting paid, but he talks about wanting to be here just as much. If Gettleman makes him a reasonable offer I think he'll take it in a heart beat over going to a dumpster fire like Oakland or Jacksonville just to make more money. He even said losing sucks and he doesn't want to get stuck in that again.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

The NFLPA is debating on taking an option on the cap that would raise it. I think most all contract talks are put off until then. So pause on the the panic button or assuming about what Gettleman is thinking.

So no one as of yet knows what the actual cap will be but it should be the first time the cap is above its 2009? Number which it has been below since the plaYers got shafted by the billionares.

From National Football Post:

NFL teams were informed at an NFL meeting in December that the 2014 salary cap is preliminarily projected to be $126.3 million. This is a 2.68 percent increase over the current $123 million salary cap. Based on my conversations with a few NFL front office executives, the cap could be as high as $128 million when it is finalized in late February or early March.

I think hardy is just being the kraken when he talks about his contract... obviously everyone wants the max they can get but i truly dont think hes all about the benjamins. he said a month ago that he wants to have a contract bigger than flaccos, staffords, and calvins combined, i think hes smart enough to realize that isnt realistic and hes just trolling around.

 

i bet he takes a 6 yr/$58 million contract

"if they can afford me" sounds like he's already gone.

Yeah, that's how I see it.

leaves for Oakland

 

 

Some huddle responses will be "*** him, he wasn't that good anyways and what the hell kind of nickname is the Kraken?"

[Mr. Scot]

Free agency doesn't start for just over another month.

 

There's time.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I've looked at him as gone since the beginning of the year, but that made me enjoy his last year here that much more. Ill miss him

[PantherPhann89]

I really hope that we can resign Hardy. I'd like to keep our current continuity together, especially on the D-line. Atlanta missed out non Johnson and made Hurney feel like he had to overspend to keep him and now their licking their chops because they know that Gettleman won't do the same, mistake or not...

Well, we know it will take something well above the 8 mill a year we already offered.
