Greg Hardy is an immature manchild losing fans everyday

Agent

 

As someone mentioned Bus Cook, many times agents have a lot to do with how "public" things get.

 

Now, I am not sure if Gregs agent is worried about a franchise tag and what team might end up wanting to trade for Hardy, but for some reason, his agent is wanting the "I want to get paid" mantra out there.

 

If the agent thought this stuff was damaging, you can bet Greg would not post anything on twitter.  Just wondering if this is going to make Gman "not" want to tag Hardy, because teams would try to low ball him on a trade since they know Gman would not pony up with franchise money?  Who knows, but doubt the agent is disturbed at all by the tweets.

I have absolutely no beef with Hardy or anyone else wanting to get paid as much as humanly possible. I also have no problem with Hardy's play on the field as I think he's approaching Peppers levels of greatness. However, this child is getting more annoying with each tweet and Instagram he posts. This guy is obsessed with money. It's like when someone has a funny joke that completely runs it into the ground. It was cute the first time he was all blunt about it and said he wanted to get paid, but Greg Hardy has tweeted or Instagrammed at least 75 times about how much money he wants or how anyone criticizing him for it is a hater (this last part makes sense when you consider he goes to Elevation Church). Enough already guy. Every time you tweet or Instagram this same money line, it doesn't help you one bit in getting a new contract. If anything it's making Gettleman more annoyed with how publicly you're doing this. Dave Gettleman isn't following you on Twitter; average joes many living paycheck to paycheck are. I'm personally not exactly in the poor house, but any NFL player constantly bitching about money is someone I can't bring myself to root for the moment he steps off the field. He's 25 years old and has made roughly $700,000 a year since he came into the league. Give it a rest.

 

Greg's obviously a fan favorite and had a break out season during a contract year. But immediately after our season ended the guy was pumping his PR machine by appearing on every single sports talk show and made his rounds at the Super Bowl. I have no problem with talk as long as he backs it up. He did more public talking the week after the super bowl than Pep did during his entire career here.

i hope hardy stays.

 

i'm not going to begrudge him this moment to try and make the most money possible. he knows he's getting ready to make a poo ton of money and he's understandably excited about it. it's a big thing that very few can say they've experienced. this is a really big deal to him just as it would be to anyone in that situation. i'm not going to look down on his excitement in this moment or they way he shows it. this is his moment. i don't blame him for milking it.

No. If you work a job and some guy you are outperforming makes 8 or 10 times what you make, sooner or later you will be annoyed and want more. Football is also brutal. Get your money now.

So you take to social media about your salary? 

 

The fans do not care how much you are going to make, only that you are going to earh your salary.  Right now, the thought of giving this guy a $20m sigining bonus is concerning.  This contract is not a reward for what he has done but an agreement for what he will do.

Hardy and his agent walk a thin line when over emphasizing money. The better teams realize that they are paying for future, not past performance and many have been burned by players who "take the money and run". If they consider Hardy a loose cannon, the number of interested teams will decrease and likely so will his contract.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
