Notable NFL writer, Jason Cole: "Extremely unlikely" Hardy is suspended. Rivera wants him back.

[ThPantherFan]

Another.......then another..........then another......then another.

[Jeremy Igo]

If we were to resign Hardy, I would never stop laughing at Voth and Igo and I like both those dudes.

Just be sure to give credit with the same ferocity when he is gone.

I'm still holding out hope Hardy legitimately wants to be here for less money. And if it's Rivera getting management to keep him then lets add another damn decade to his contract. We won't be able to keep him at what his market price would've been before we tagged him, but if he'll take a deal that's like $27M over 4 years (basically $40M over 4 years with last years money) then hell yeah lets keep him. I hope what Josh said he told him is true. And I hope Riverboat is willing to force JR to "gamble" on Hardy again. And the only person who wouldn't want him back is JR. DG would be ecstatic to get Hardy for less than what he's worth.

Wanna make a bet? You're so confident and hold all the cards so how about this... If Hardy is here another year I get a free year of All-Pro. If he's not you can choose my sig/pic for a year.

It's easy to say "I told you so", but that doesn't quite explain why the Rivera angle was missed by Charlotte's own.  Ron's willingness to "fight" for Hardy due to his legally being cleared of criminal charges is a big story unto itself.

[CarolinaXblue]

I would love to see Hardy come back. But it's also the South, so if Carolina brings Hardy back and "supports" domestic violence even though the case has been dropped, everyone's scared we might lose 10 fans.

Rivera said weeks ago he would like to see Hardy back during a presser. It is hardly breaking news.

Rivera does not control the roster.

I mean, hell, if you poll most of the people here, most of them will say that Hardy is probably a done deal in Charlotte, but most people just don't say it with the surety that you, Scot and others have (pretty much based on nothing besides Bill Voth's speculation).

But the coach going to bat for Hardy is.

I mean, what, Jeremy?  Would you rather be right about an "I told you so" about Hardy, or would you rather be wrong?  That''s an interesting question.

I'd rather be wrong. Hardy is good for business. Fun to talk about, photograph, interview.

But since I have been told since training camp that he won't be back and have been told nothing different ever since, hard for me to say otherwise.

You can keep hurling insults around, it's fine. Just try to keep it consolidated in one thread.

Insults?  I haven't insulted anyone, and I think that it's insulting for you to even say that. That's not my style, nor has it ever been as you well know. But, hey, it's your gig.  

[Byrdman4real]

I know one thing: I ain't believing poo about Hardy's status until it's official.

Edit: And that includes information coming from anyone in the Charlotte media.

^ This is why I haven't said a damn thing yet.

Diminishing my work and opinions by saying they are just based on someone else's speculation is insulting.
