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."

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.

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

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...

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
