Hardy's Heart is in Carolina

[cookinwithgas]

Nothing is more uplifting to the human spirit - and a football teams PR efforts - than forgiveness and redemption after a fall.

I hope you're right.

Hardy will be back. He's going to take a pay cut and he's going to accept it gladly. The guy just sat out a year and watched as we failed to get pressure, which is his specialty. I think Hardy is classy enough to think "maybe if I had been out there, we might have won more". 

I think Hardy is going to come back with a vengeance. Dude can't be greedy in what he asks for and he knows it. He got free money for a year. He nor his agent are going to ask for a lot of money after that. If he shows out after whatever contract we sign him to and blows the league up, then we can talk big pay day if the money is there and we can afford it.

If Big Money doesn't restructure  his $20M cap hit and is possibly released....  and Hardy truly is gone for good,  no matter the jury verdict.  then I feel our pass rush is going to be severely lacking in '15.    With G-man looking for diamonds in the rough in the bargain bin,   to star on our Dline.

I hope Hardy does return

The kraken has a heart?

[jfo89]

watching JR cry, I assure you, Hardy will never play for carolina again

 

Here's the thing.. If JR has given control to Gettleman to put the best team on the field, and Gettleman does not use emotion when making personnel decisions, then it is very possible that Hardy comes back. This is assuming of course that he is willing to take less money to play here and that he is found not guilty.

Wow I don't know what more you guys could want from this guy. He specifically said he still wants to be in Carolina AND he'd play for cheap and you still have idiots in this thread who think he just wants the big pay day. Are you blind deaf or dumb?

[PantherFanOne]

A recent ESPN article (link at the bottom) included some interesting comments from Josh Norman, who says he's spoken with Greg Hardy.

"His heart is in Carolina," Norman said. "I had a talk with him. He wants to be here. He don't want to go nowhere else. He wants to be in Carolina. He even told me he would play for free. That's what he told me verbatim out of his mouth."

 

We'll see how true that holds. But the prospect of getting one of the leagues top pass rushers on the cheap is very intriguing, whether he's found guilty or not.

Heart in Carolina????? Greg Hardy's heart is in his pocket book,don't kid yourself.

[stankowalski]

I don't see why Hardy shouldn't be a given another chance.  Of course I don't know all the circumstances with Hardy.

1. Does he have a history of domestic violence or assault?

2. Is the woman that charged him with assault reputable?

Anyone have any idea how long a trial like this could take before the verdict? With a case like this I'm assuming it's not going to drag on for months and months like a big murder trial or anything right? Should we expect to know the verdict by end of Feb?

[Lumps]

Uh, Hardy was offered a 8-9/mil year contract and turned it down before being tagged did he not?

[CarolinaCoolin]

Uh, Hardy was offered a 8-9/mil year contract and turned it down before being tagged did he not?

Before he sat out an entire season getting paid 13 mil to do nothing.

Hardy has always been the guy who wants to get paid for what he earns. He came off a career high season and wanted to get paid accordingly.

He got caught up in a DV issue at the worst time in NFL history and got paid 13 mil to do nothing. He obviously wants to repay that 13 mil and earn himself another contract.

You guys talking about Hardy only cares about money are completely wrong and overstate that point waaaaaaay to much

The guy was a sixth round pick and barely made anything his rookie contract and then came off a 15 sack season of course he wanted to get his. Now circumstances are completely different and a lot of you are butt hurt about.
