Greg Hardy not getting a warm reception ....

I do think Hardy is getting significant interest, but teams don't want to sign him right away because it makes them look too over-eager to sign a guy who threatened to kill his girlfriend.  Some team will sign him a week from now after the craziness has died down and get a very good, albeit mentally troubled young player.  I think the Bengals are the best fit for him.

lol if nobody signs him.

 

well not really lol :-(

 

Someone will sign him - he's too talented to not be on a roster.  But whereas last year he would have been signed to a mega long-term deal if the Panthers didn't tag him, this year he's probably looking at an incentive laden 1-year prove it deal.

Belichick GM philosophy revolves around acquiring talent not character.he also needs a game changer right now on that dL.especially after the Colts offseason acquisitions on the offensive side of the ball.also here's a couple more things Belichick likes and that is a 75%off price tag and the FACT that Hardys charges were dismissed.

And I wouldn't be surprised if those teams leaked out that they were interested in Hardy to gauge public perception a bit either.

Hardy is gonna be a Buc.

No worries, Dave just said Oher can be the answer.

 

I suppose they should have come out and said he wasn't good enough to play. That would be  the proper way to welcome a FA.

Anybody wondering if a full year off from playing and staying away from team facilities could have a rather profound effect on player performance? Some have said "he has less mileage", but it will be interesting to see if he has any perceptible change in his game. Also, he flourished under Rivera and was always complimentary about how he developed in our system. You wonder what changing all that will do as well. Worth considering

I think he'll end up a Bengal on a 2 year (around) $14M deal

 

Panthers would be stupid to not match a contract like that....

 

Wonder how pissed people are gonna be if we draft a DE in the first like he's been hinting at...especially if we could get Hardy at a reasonable price.

 

My beef with the Hardy thing is just bringing him back with a team friendly deal...if Hardy is asking for big bucks then no obviously but a deal like that....

I think the point is more that Hardy will destroy any of our OLmen....he can play either side and in the middle.

 

The team better hope he doesn't sign with an NFCS team...especially if it's for a lower end contract.

Hardy is a really good player but he still went 8 games without a sack. He's a streaky player that is either hot or cold.

      Any interest in Kyle Juszczyk?

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      This was his first season playing where he was healthy. I have never seen anyone be given more chances to get healthy than this guy. I don't know what contract he will get, but someone will be gambling that he will be available. If he could be had for back-up guard money, I'd go for him quickly, and use him situationally as an extra tight end. If he can't be, that's fine. In my fantasy scenario, we have completely remade our offense under a new and improved Bryce with an Offensive Coordinator (Canales) who finally figured out how to run the offense later in the year.  I can dream. And all of my dreams have been wrong. We will not get Warren, Skattebo, or Becton, and all three will be major contributors wherever they go.

      He seems to be able to handle FA signings pretty well, but the draft is where a GM makes or breaks a team and the results are inconclusive at the moment.

      There’s also a big difference between our starters and most other teams. We’ve been bottom of the barrel since second half of 2018. Drafting a “starter” here is a lot easier than drafting a starter in KC so your stat, while true, doesn’t indicate that we are draft less starters each draft and we aren’t getting impact guys outside Brown and 50% of an impact guy in Horn. After round 1, since 2018, Chubba is literally the only impact starter in 7 drafts. Thats horrific drafting and it’s why we’ve spent $270M on 2 guards, 2 DTs and 1 safety. People go to the SB when they spend that on their franchise QB, not on guards, DTs and safeties. I hope they all make the team better but overpaying positions we should be drafting and developing on the cheap is not the best way to build a contender.
