Lastly,

I'm really hating this current panther offseason and with a realist view of the current FA class, its not going to get better. My hope is there will be cuts that will benefit the panthers.

Trade CJ to Chicago for a 3rd round pick. Clear up 20 million in cap space if that's how that works. Never happen but a cool thought.

I dont give a poo about Hardy. But damn though. We franchise him, then he gets put on the exempt list and played one game.

Id much rather the NFL grant us that money in cap space that we payed him not to play. Otherwise, if he does sign with another team, they pay us that money back somehow in the form of pure cash or picks or something.

Just messed up he couldn't play because of the exempt list...but still gets paid and we lose that money as if throwing it out the window.

I asked about that in one of other 1,694 hardy threads, what about cap space? Panthers should get the option of a few million to be added to the roll over cap number. To me it seems fair.

Charges being dismissed is not really the same thing as being innocent.

We all know what really happened here....he paid her and she went away. We will never know how innocent he was in all of this....my personal belief is that the truth lies somewhere between their two stories. Not as guilty as she portrayed him, but not as innocent as he was portraying.

So again we all believe that both were at fault for the situation that was a misdemeanor. . And nobody should have been punished and they should both just never be around each other.. like I guess has happened. .

In other words...we, who got on our soapbox prematurely, need some sort of justification/rationale to continue pretending to be the so-called moral authority. Meanwhile, Johnny fuging Football can take photos with a rolled up dollar bill and some mystery white powdered substance. He, by many accounts, is an alcoholic as well. Yet he remained active for the ENTIRE season and people are like poor guy. Are there even rules to this world anymore?

Ben had already been accused a few times by that point, not to mention Ben hadn't already been deactivated 17 games the season before.

 

It's possible he gets suspended, but I think the NFLPA will have something to say about it. Rice got punished twice, and the NFL ended up with egg on their face because of it. I don't know if they are going to want to make that mistake again. Who knows though.

Yeah, because they really went to bat for him last season. I don't see it happening. During the great domestic violence witch hunt, defending one of the accused the equivalent of kicking Lena Dunham in the baby maker.

All charges are drop different story now.. Now they have a firm platform to defend him..

What you have to remember is that the NFL will make its decision completely on how the wind is blowing in the mainstream media.  If Bob Costas and others of his ilk start demanding Hardy be suspended, guilt be damned, then the NFL will completely cave just like it did last season.  What the NFL has done with regards to cases like this in the past does not matter.  What makes sense does not matter.  What seems equitable does not matter.  The NFL has proven to be run by a bunch of gutless, clueless, self serving, idiots, who fall completely to pieces when a certain crowd starts calling it names.  The sooner the rest of us stop trying to read tea leaves and remember all of that, the quicker we can all stop wasting our time making speculation based on what happened with Big Ben or pretty  much anything else the NFL has ever done prior to the Ray Rice video being made public.

Y'all hate my theory and blah blah blah. I get it, but at the end of the day,

Hardy and Drew made the NFL look stupid and totally undermined their perfect "Franchise" process!

That's what the NFL wants Hardy to pay for! They could care less about Holder or Rice's wife or McDonalds wife, it's when the integrity of the shield gets compromised!

Hardy did what no other Franchised player could do, get paid to and not be there

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
