I Don't understand the franchise and trade Hardy talk

Recommended Posts

I don't think it's possible to do quite honestly. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe if he were to sign the franchise tender the 1 year contract becomes fully guaranteed and would be money we'd have to eat if he was traded.

Some of you may be under the impression that we could franchise him and then sign him to a long term deal for another team but again guaranteed money will always be a factor. He will not sign a long term contract without a large signing bonus(guaranteed money).

You have to remember any "guaranteed money " stays with the team that signs the player even if traded. Huge reason why we had to take a big hit when trading Beason and can't trade Stewart even if we wanted to.

If I am wrong someone please explain it to me and do you have any examples to cite in the past?

I dont get why so many think teams will be willing to take the tag and trade anyway.

"Please let us relieve your cap hit while we also give you our first and second rounder."

Because it's been done before, Hardy is going to be a big free agent. Might be able to get him a little bit cheaper off the market then on it financially speaking.

because all things are possible in the lollipop guild!

 

 

 

on a serious note, the one way I see us keeping Hardy is one comment he made (that is most likely irrelevant when it comes down to the actual contract) but he said if he has to go out and prove it to get that big contract then tell him what he has to do...  which could imply a huge signing bonus may not be that big of a deal.  He gets his number by going out and earning that contract.

 

but I doubt that's seriously considered...

if a tag and trade occurs, the new team would already have a new long term contract in place for Hardy.

I get that part but again he's going to want a signing bonus and we would be responsible for any signing bonus if he was traded which makes no sense on our end.

If this was such a plausible idea then somebody could cite examples of it happening in the past.

Hardy would have to agree to that contract. It's not like he would get traded into a long term deal just because the team interested in completing the trade with the Panthers had a deal they thought was sufficient.

I really, really don't think there's going to be a tag and trade. Rayzor's post on an earlier thread articulated it very well.

Because it is a chance that we franchise him and not let him walk this year.   Thus using up a huge portion of our cap but keeping a player who may be instrumental in another playoff run.   This in turn would mean that we will end up pushing the Cam Newton extension to next year.   The consensus that I have seen is that we are going to franchise him and play him.  If another team wants him they will have to pony up the pick.  However there may be teams willing to give up a high draft pick and sign him rather than letting him hit FA where they would have to bid for him.  

 

There is not going to be a sign and trade deal.  Gettleman will let Hardy's agent know he can talk to a team. Hardy's agent will work out a deal with the other team before the trade actually happens.  He is traded and signs immediately.

You'd be wrong.

The team trading for Hardy can negotiate a new contract.

Research the Patriots Franchise Tagging and trading Matt Cassell to the Chiefs and you'll understand how it is done.

Or just search this forum for Hardy in the title.

There is a plethera of threads on this exact subject.

Hardy is a FA. If he's tagged and traded to a team that's offering him a contract he doesn't want he doesn't have to sign that contract.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
