Greg Hardy waiting on phone call, 'crapload' of money

[The Huddler]

The CJ contract really fuged us over. So, since CJ is getting paid all this money, Hardy thinks he's entitled to equal or more.

Hes had more sacks! Dude is a beast!

In the past, quality talents got two very good deals. Hardy is probably only going to get the one. By the time this deal ends he will be looking to stay pertinent and win. Which means a little less money but a better chance at a Super Bowl run.

I don't begrudge him wanting his money. But really, we can get him plenty, and a shot at winning it all. Maybe not the money some will offer, but still a good amount.

It all comes down to how greedy he is with this one shot at money. One way or another he is getting a butt load. I just don't want us to be the one taking it up said butt. If he is reasonable, he will still be here. If he is greedy, he will be gone. I want the former, and would hate the latter.

Did he do an interview today?

CJ will restructure to make room for Hardy... he'll get the same amount of guaranteed money he was going to get anyways and he's smart enough to realize how much easier and more pleasant his own job will be with a complimentary DE.

Yeaahhh that's gonna be a no from my end

[Argus Plexus]

Gettleman will do what's best for the team, regardless of the outcome. I'm getting tired of the talk, though...

Or we could pick up Michael Bennett from the Seahawks who's a free agent or Michael Johnson from the bengals who are both proven guys and would be a half the price of hardys contract. It's tough but if getting one of those guys to replace hardy allows us to address two other positions then you have to think sensibly.

I actually think he's going to get more money then CJ got. Something along the lines of 6 years, 88 million with 40 of it guaranteed.

He can go fug himself, he's doing too much talking for a guy that can't show up in a playoff game.

[IamSoClutch]

Hardy staying depends on if Cj is willing to pay him out of his on pockets

[jptaylor84]

Seen this alot lately if CJ restructures etc etc we can pay hardy! This guy although overpaid puts in work and his production since being here every year is awesome, they guy don't ask to get overpaid he gratefully took the money as I or you would because our gm was a douchebag! How about deangelo or Stewart who may I add has been on a hospital bed most of the last two seasons whilst cashing his paycheck! SMH

Fan logic at its finest.  Why begrudge the man for chasing money?  Football players have careers that are "backwards" (for lack of a better term) and short.  The average person makes more money as he/she ages and has a career that spans decades.  The opposite is true for football players.  

 

I hope he gets what he wants and we get what we want.  If the two are not the same, so be it.  Life goes on.

Wrapping up 28m a season...over 20% of the cap in the DE position is dumb.

You could majorly upgrade the secondary and use the urge DE's we have and improve the defense more.
