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...

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
