We MIGHT* be tagging Hardy *Zod is in denial

[Gin and Juice]

Hardy seems like a player that would give you a much higher rate of play if you just keep feeding him remarkable, incentive laced one year deals! Don't let him get fat and lazy! He believes in himself enough to shoot for the moon....let him have the chance. Multi year comfort deals will spoil him to render him ineffective

Greg Hardy is money hungry, of course he'll play under the tag.

can't blame him.

Voth is saying that it looks like the plan is to keep the dline together for one more season.

My gut tells me that is still might not happen! Even if Hardy is tagged

The only reasons I see us tagging Hardy for is either a) They are working on long term contract with him right now and just tagging him for temp to make sure he doesn't go on to the FA market next month. b) We are tagging Hardy and preparing to trade him to another team right now. I just don't see us tagging him just to keep him one more season and then let him walk next season. That would be stupid. We have was to many needs to be filled for us just to use 60% of our cap just keep Hardy around one more season. There has to be some reason behind this long term. I'm hoping we find out with the next few days to week from now before FA begin.

Personally, I would rather just let him walk this year and use the money to shore up our immediate needs. Cam has done a lot to make up for a porous OL and weak receiving core. But Heaven forbid he should go down running for his life, because the next man up won't be able to do what Cam does. Sometimes you're better off just cutting your losses and moving on. Just my .02

Im in the minority here but Hardy just strikes me as the type that will take it easy once he gets paid. If he gets paid dont be suprised to see a big drop off in his play. You can save this comment and revist it midway through next season.

Agreed, but less likely on a one year deal! The day he wants a high dollar multi year deal is the day he walks.....he strikes me as one that will become invisible. 

 

That said, one of two things will happen with this tag:

 

1) He plays his ass off for landing a multi-year major deal or

2) He fakes an injury all season and plays 2015 contract year off his 2013 merits

I hate big money contracts. Just look at players that get big money deals and see a huge drop off. Vick, Stewart, Peppers, Beason. Keek and Cam are the only two players I can say with 100% confidence they wont get slack after getting big money and are truely driven by winning. Hardy seems to be the exaxt type that will stop caring after a big money deal. I just dont trust him like that.

Possibly.

Wish we could trade Hardy plus a 3rd to grab Clowney. Hardy is a better player at this moment, but we'd still be good and it would sure would save us a lot of money.  Texans aren't dumb enough to do it though.....maybe we can pull the trigger on that if he's still on the board when Cleveland is up.

Just no. If we can trade for a top 5 pick, its instant franchise tackle. then a WR at 28. That's the ideal.

Unless Sammy is still there.  At that point, all bets would be off.
