Panthers, Hardy talking long-term deal

[PantherMan89]

I think I prefer the franchise tag for hardy. Hate to commit that kind of money long term to a guy coming off one really good season. I think hardy is really good but would like to see him do it again before committing that kind of money long term. Also cool with the possibility of a trade that could come with the tag.

Yep, no thanks on $12M - 14M.  I'd rather see him go to the Raiders than the Panthers set themselves up for cap hell by giving out a contract like that.  Cam and Luke's contracts are right around the corner...

[carpanfan96]

if it's really 12 to 14 mil per year, let him walk or try to move him.

that's absurd. we can't afford it. bigger fish to fry.

 

It's going to take as much if not more then CJ got paid to keep him. Think Peppers money.

 

He's young, considered elite, Just as good against the run, can play multiple positions on the line.. 

 

Think somewhere in the range of a 70-80 million dollar contract for 5-6 years with 35 of it guaranteed.

Huhh??? 12-14 mil a season?

[El Chingon]

person is probably reporting his rookie contract

Gettleman is in a tough spot here.

So do you think that the 16 million we are paying Johnson is justified or absurd as well?

[KillerKat]

Yea he's not going to be a Panther next season if he wants 12-14 mill.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I still think trying to find a trade partner is the right route, he's gonna eat up too much cap that we don't have

[Montsta]

Careful now it's Person reporting this.....

That's great news!!!!

It means a deal has already happened!!

See you guys later I'm going to buy an elite Hardy Nike jersey from the team store!

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

If Hurney hadn't done that, CJ is probably suiting up for the Falcons right now.

 

Uh huh

We can give him whatever he wants in total money but we need to limit the guaranteed money.  I would suspect that the 6 years and 70 year contract as long as the guaranteed was only around 25.  If back loaded we could renegotiate in a few years or move on as long as the dead cap money wasn't ridiculous which comes when the signing bonus and guaranteed money isn't crazy. In the end the guaranteed money is what really matters.

Tell me it's 8 mil a year.
