Raiders in discussions with Greg Hardy

[MHS831]

That's awesome that you wrote a book. Pie!

 

I was abused as a child-nobody was raising me.  So, I thought I would do my part.  thanks, buddy.

From another point, I can see how this is happening. Dude was around rapping and poo, showing no sort of remorse. Maybe this will be a lesson to him.

Why would I show remorse for something I didn't do?

[JawnyBlaze]

Beating a child the way AP beat his is completely wrong and should be admonished. But that had nothing to do with Greg Hardy. AP abused a child. Greg Hardy was hoodwinked by an experienced manipulator of men. Completely unrelated.

[Happy Panther]

What if no team is willing to sign him and he would want to play here for vet min.? Would DG and JR sack up and sign him?

Nope and nope.

I can see that angle too. From a maturity standpoint, I would just lay low rather than trying to start a career calling women bitches etc. Not a good look.

[JawnyBlaze]

Was he even calling women bitches in his rapping?  I will admit (be proud of?) the fact I didn't listen to the whole "rap" but the line that got all the attention was "Kraken, bitch".  Sounds like the kind of line that was the gender-unspecific "bitch", not directed at women or a woman.  It's splitting hairs, I know, but it makes a little difference.

I'm not going to fault a guy for trying to keep occupied while the league basically told him to go fug himself for a year and counting.

Raiders now saying they don't plan on signing him.

[Cwood722]

The Raiders GM made it clear that they are not pursuing Greg Hardy.

[Mr. Scot]

The talk coming out of Oakland is borderline hateful toward Hardy.

[Yaboychris28]

Hardy was never a locker room cancer, he just made some questionable decisions in his personal life. I don't understand why now suddenly you need people in the locker room to "keep him in check".

That idea of bringing Hardy back on a one year prove it deal is starting to look more and more enticing.  I know JR doesn't want it, but this might be one of those times when Gettleman needs to go and talk to him and say, "You hired me to run this team.  Let me run this team." 

 

Now, with that said, JR could easily come back and say, "Alright, your call.  But I'll tell you this, if he embarrasses this organization again, he's gone and you're gone with him.  Deal?"

 

Would you risk your job betting on Hardy not being an idiot?  I sure as hell wouldn't if it came down to that.

I think it'd have to be a long long way into free agency before that becomes an option.

(definitely post draft, probably close to training camp at least)
