How much more cap room would we have had if we had let Hardy walk?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Anyone know? Think about how different this offseason would have been if we had let Hardy go and had much more cap room to spend during the beginning of free agency. Instead, we tagged Hardy, missed most players we targeted, and now Hardy is facing a suspension and still getting paid AND will almost certainly be gone in 2015. Woo!

Cap hit of a franchise tag is the same as the number you see, it all counts against the cap. So, 13.1 million dollars richer if he was gone.

If he is released (pending he's convicted) are we still responsible for the 13 million?

18 Million

Every last penny

I think there's a 0% chance he'll be released during this season, but there's also a 0% chance he'll be here in 2015.

Jumping the gun a bit are we? I've also read nothing about a possible suspension yet.

Dang. The whole situation with all parties is bad...this is gonna hurt us.

The value of the Kony Pick just went up.

Goodell hands out 1 or 2 game suspensions just for being arrested, no? I'm not talking about long-term.

You speak to him on a regular basis then?

Typical Sam Mills Fan thread.

How much more FAP room would we have if we were able to sign a legit T in FA?

What? Just look at his history. There have been several players suspended one game just for solely being arrested for domestic violence. Fabian Washington comes to mind as one.

So you are in sky is falling mode over a possible one game suspension? Good grief.
