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

If I was DG, I don't think I could justify spending over $10 mil a year on him. That's so much money tied into one position, especially considering we already have that kind of situation with the RBs.

I sure Gettleman is working through our roster, evaluating each piece, and talking to our FA's to get a sense of their expectations. He also has to talk to guys like Gross, and Wharton, and maybe even D. Edwards and Cole, to see if they want to play another year.

All of those data points will, in part, determine what kind of offer DG is willing to give Hardy.

I'm glad the FO is being methodical. As fans, all we can do is patiently wait.

This may sound all well and good. But...not many around here are known for their patience. Some are sure he is gone, so they can't wait to be right. Others are hoping he stays, so they can't wait to be right either.

Me? I want him back. With a fair deal that is. I am sure Gman will offer him fair market value. So to me, it comes down to Kraken. If he wants to be here, he will. If he wants the money, me just may be gone.

LOL, DG is letting him walk or giving him the tag...  SMH...

 

Peppers Redux.

except peppers didn't want to stay, in fact he wanted out. he made that crystal clear.

 

hardy at least wants to stay. the desire may not be as strong as the desire to get what he can on the open market, but it's there.

I remember the Peppers situation vividly...  I'm just saying, if DG let's him walk for nothing, it is essentially the same thing.  If we're not going to, or not ABLE to, pay him what he's looking for, there is no way you just let him walk uncompensated.  We HAVE to get something in return.

 

I really want us to keep him, but it's not looking good.  And the more Hardy says, the more it sounds like that hometown discount is long gone.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By Basbear · Posted

      They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....

      He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
