Would you trade Charles Johnson to keep Greg Hardy?

[Argus Plexus]

No. CJ is better despite the Hardy hype.

[MadHatter]

CJ Deal is not out of line.  Dwill and Stewart are based on the fact that there are 2 of them.

 

CJ's contract was several million a year higher than what his true market would have been.  However, given the circumstances that season we could NOT let him get away....especially given that he would have gone to Atlanta.

 

We paid a premium to ensure we locked him up.

I'd rather have a hamburger than a hot dog.

 

What if they were: A Morning Star hamburger and a Sonic chili cheese frito's coney dog?

[Toundra]

I like CJ as much as Hardy, maybe even a litle more since CJ is a quieter guy.

So no.

Hotdogs- You know what they make those things out of, Chet? You know? Lips and assholes!

[Jangler]

I've had worst tasting assholes

[Qu1million]

Hell no, CJ is good where he is....he came back in after leg whip by Patriots player and gave the team that flare to kick the patriots ass, it also showed team mates the type of teammate and player he is

[poorboysrev]

    What team could/would trade to take on that kind of contract? Oakland maybe. But then we would have to turn around and give that same kind of money to Hardy. So what would that really net us? I'm not trashing Hardy. He's a very good player but he also benefitted from CJ and Star.

  

     Unfortunately giving him the kind of contract he's asking for would hamstring this team beyond belief. Rivera(and staff) developed Hardy into what he is now from a 6th rd pick.

 

     I do not get why people are so scared that he can't do that again with Alexander or the other young guys. It's not like he was an elite level  talent. He's a young player that we developed and got production out of on the cheap. With the salary cap that's what good teams have to do. Now he's wanting franchise player type money, of course he does and good for him. But now we have to do the other  thing  every year contenders(i.e. New England) do. Cut the heart strings and let that player walk

   

    This is what we've always been too loyal and afraid to do with good players  and we overpay and hamstring our team. Gettleman is too smart to do that. That's why people are saying he will/should  go. It's just logical. Now if Hardy was willing to take a much less contract than CJ then MAYBE it would be worth the hassle, but he's not(nor should he be).  I personally would rather the team make the decision early on so they can focus on addressing the offense and secondary instead of a position Rivera has shown he can coach up.

CJ is much more consistent and is more grounded.

[bleys]

hard to argue CJ isn't a bigger part of this defense.  the DL suffered with him out of the game and Hardy didn't make that up.

 

 

You need a guy like CJ who brings stability, big time leadership, and consistency at DE.  You also need that crazy motherfuger who is ready to go out and deliver blood to his enemies..

 

 

unfortunately we may not be able to keep both.   Hardy still isn't as good as CJ week in and week out..  Hardy also doesn't cover up CJ's leadship, as much as we love Hardy's intangibles.. 

[Evengelion]

Tag and trade, man. Do the tag and trade. The tag and trade is what matters, now!

[Kevin Greene]

We have 3 contracts, CJ, DWill and Stewart that are way out of line.  If we could get rid of any of those, we should take a look

 

But no team is loony enough to trade for one of these Marty Hurney contracts.

[PantherWake]

Didn't you guys see what happened in the Pats game when CJ got legwhipped? Brady was picking us apart  

[heel31ok]

 I wouldn't do it to keep Hardy. Trading him would depend on what you got in return.if we got a first rd pick and say  Gordon from Cleveland. I mean it would have to be a blockbuster trade but Hardy would really have nothing to do with it.
