Report: Greg Hardy's Panthers career likely over

[CatMan72]

What's worse, taking a chance on an extension or watching him eat Cam alive in a Falcons uniform?

[LUUUUUKE]

What's worse, taking a chance on an extension or watching him eat Cam alive in a Falcons uniform?

Which would definitely happen, being that we don't have a LT

I often wonder if Cam would be better off if we didn't even put a body out there at LT. At least then he knows he must evade every down, instead of getting clobbered from his blind side every other down

At this point,i can only think of what it might have been like ;without the absence of Greg Hardy?

The Panthers would love to get any production for their 13 mil this season, but there won't be a contract for future seasons.

 

That's a pretty bold, concrete statement.  I hope your sources are impeccable.

Not surprised, Jerry has shown he cares nothing about the fans or winning when it come to the NFL. All the while AP will be activated in a few weeks after he beat a young child blue.

I hope this poo isn't true.

[WOW!!]

Well it looks like we are rebuilding the defense.

And Cam will still wait..........for help..........

[Marguide]

only the most diehard ideologues and people still butthurt over this or that player being released don't at least sort of understand why hardy was franchised

 

watching this team's pass rush every sunday proves he was worth it

 

Since it is apparent we had no intent to either trade him or work out a long term deal, it basically came down to a 1 year rental for $13 million, making it a very questionable decision in my eyes. That is enough cap space for 3 to 4 mid level FA's. 

 

It's not all about that.

It's about Hardy's long history of poor decisions and other things that are known. All of it adds up to him not being worth the risk.

 

And yet given the above, we were willing to guarantee him $13 million for this season, and give him part of it up front just to get him to attend voluntary work outs. I just don't get those saying it was a no-brainer decision at the time.

 

I'm not one buying the line that GH would have made an enormous difference in our defense. A significant impact, yes, no doubt. But $13 million worth? Can't see it.

Welp.................................This SUCKS if true

I just went from thinking he could be back after the bye, to well, punching myself in the d7ck

Rivera just said Gettleman is going to contact the league office to inquire about Hardy's status... sure doesn't sound like we've moved on.

Most mid level FAs are going to expect deals that are longer then one year. So while the one year cost might be less then 13m the overall commitment would be more.

Also there is no way to know sure if we wouldn't have signed or traded him. I know some have reported that we never intended to but as we all know a lot of misinformation gets put out by teams.

[CPF4LIFE]

One report says he is not coming back, and then the next says we are looking into it. I will just wait and here from the teams mouth directly.

He won't have to wait long, if Cam doesn't have a deal done by the start of next season then I think it's his last year here.
