Odds on trading Hardy

We didn't pay it all out at once.

51%

 

Yes, but we're already a cash strapped team and dumping Hardy between now and the draft seems really unlikely. That's the only way that 1.3 doesn't count against our cap. Why would we be looking to take on even more dead money? And if we're sure we can trade him before the draft then there's no need to even work out that advance with him. There's a <1% chance Hardy gets traded.

I think the odds are much lower than they should be. We should have a long term deal done by draft night or we should trade him away. Letting him walk for nothing but a comp pick is a suboptimal outcome.

Absent Gettleman pulling off the greatest draft in Panther history, a Super Bowl run is unlikely next year with all of the holes we have on offense and at DB (but we should certainly make the playoffs and anything is possible once you're in). Taking the long term view, this doesn't seem like the best time to push all the chips in - so we need to either decide that the Kraken is part of the long term core and get a deal done or get assets back for him and draft guys who will be part of that core.

I don't think we are going to get a ton of reverse inquiries and I can't see Gettleman calling up ten different teams on draft night to make a market for Hardy. So I say less than 5% chance he is traded.

as much as I want to trade hardy, I have to say giving the guy an advance to attend OTA's deffinately kills that idea

Why are you so eager to trade Hardy? It's not exactly easy to replace 15 sacks...

So he signed his one yr contract and we advanced him some cash?  Not sure why this can't be worked out in a trade if needed, but either way,

 

I think only a 5% chance of trading Hardy.

 

I have only one trade up scenario which would be Cleveland taking Watkins at 4 and trading with us for the 26th pick if OBJ is still on the board.  They can still get their QB at 28 since NO will not be replacing Brees.

 

My biggest hope is that Jax trades back into the first round with us and we pick up an extra pick.

 

Actually, all of these are only about a 5% chance of materializing.

I think frank alexander can step in and not miss a beat, I also think more sacks will come from the DT's, If carolina can trady hardy and grab some more young talent with tno drop off in production with frank the tank filling in, then why not do it.

Ha, just found a mock which would lend itself to my only trade up scenario.
