A league source said the team is preparing to use its franchise tag on defensive end Greg Hardy. The fourth-year player tied a team single-season record with 15 sacks in 2013. He would be one of the league’s most sought-after free agents if Carolina lets him hit the open market. The deadline for teams to tag one of their players is Monday at 4 p.m. ET.

Even though the Panthers have at least a couple dozen decisions to make – including finding a replacement for longtime left tackle Jordan Gross, who retired Wednesday – they need to make a final call on Hardy in the next few days.

During two media appearances – after the playoff loss to the 49ers and at the NFL Combine – general manager Dave Gettleman stressed the Panthers remain “cap challenged.” He was also non-committal about Hardy, who would command too much money for a long-term deal.

The estimated cost of a franchise tag for defensive ends in 2014 is between $12-$13 million. If the Panthers do tag Hardy, they will lose a big chunk of their cap space, but the organization believes he is too important to just let walk.

Owner Jerry Richardson has charged Gettleman to build a team that will post a winning record in back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history, and keeping Hardy for 2014 would be a key piece to that plan.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      I turned to the NFL Network and they are playing the Wildcard Game against the Rams I think we gained a lot of respect around the league we hung in there for a while into the 4th Quarter 🙂

      Does anyone know for sure if the game tonite will be on HBO max?  That is where I watched the last one and only access I currently have- I am in SE NC and no broadcast stations carry the games.😖

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      take a  look around the league at other young Qb's such as Drake Maye , Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix , CJ Stroud  & Caleb Williams who at the time like Bryce Young they also were drafted by teams with a losing record .the only difference with these Qb's is after joining their teams with a losing record they led those same teams to a winning record in a very short period of time .it's simply what you call a game changer & or elite Qb's & then take a  look at  the other side of the coin you have Qb's such as Trey Lance, Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Justin Fields  & Anthony Richardson also like Bryce Young all first round picks who instead of winning either did not play or led their teams to a losing record while playing  Bryce Young who has an overall record of 14-30 & wildly inconsistent & never in the history of the NFL has a Qb 5'10" or shorter had a successful carrer as Qb in the NFL  if anything history is telling you exactly what ?..just saying
