Let me preface this by saying this not a love or hate Gettleman thread.

 

I assumed we tagged him thinking we would sign him to a long term deal versus a one year rental

 

Does anyone know why this has not happened or understand why we would want to wait? I cannot imagine us tagging him thinking we would get nothing but a 1 year rental/ The chances a very thin for a trade so what is the deal?

Keeping him tagged until after the draft gives us leverage for draft picks and gives us more options in possible trades if the FO believes terms cannot be met.

Also, in lieu of a trade, we would be on the hook for signing bonus which is something we want to avoid.

Just smart business.

Ok, but I am not following your logic

Its pretty obvious he wants so much money that tendering him is actually better for us. Since we didn't want him to walk for nothing it was our only choice. If you have a guy wanting 18 mil a year then tendering is our only option if we want to keep him another year. Its not like he's willing to sign for ten million a year and DG is just dragging his feet.

I understand that but would it not be to our advantage to make this happen now?

So you are suggesting that we tagged him not knowing what it would take to get a deal done? Just asking not trying to be a smart ass
Yes. Tagging is about getting more time. It is a gamble. At least we know we know he will play for us in 2014. Sent from my SGH-T989 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

Keeping him tagged garners us 2 first round draft picks in a trade.

Signing him to a long-term may not be feasible at this stage, especially when considering the upcoming contracts of Cam and Kuechly. It may be wise, though incredibly unfortunate and downright blasphemous, to trade Hardy for some unproven rookies!! I would be so friggin pissed if this went down!!!

Anyway...

As everyone knows, there is a lot of money tied up in our ends and even though it is quite the luxury, we still have team needs to fill that could be addressed with that money saved up for Hardy...such as OL, S, & WR. If worse comes to worse and we decide to make a trade, draft picks is the way to go and it would get us off the hook for his signing bonus that would immediately count against our cap.

Get it, got it? Logical enough or do I have to repeat myself a third time?

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
