Greg Hardy to the Cowboys

[Mr. Scot]

Schefter reports the base deal is 11.3 million, up to 13.1

There's a lot smaller gap between those two numbers than I expected.

[rayzor]

so that's pretty much $26mil for one year of work. not a bad gig if you can get it.

Can we never talk about him again now?

It’s a one-year contract, which carries the minimum base salary for a sixth-year player of $745,000.  He can earn up to a total of $13.1 million (which was his base salary as Carolina’s franchise player in 2014) through a series of per-game roster bonuses and a large workout bonus.

 

The Cowboys chose to keep the base salary as low as possible in the event that another incident or accusation against Hardy puts him back on the Commissioner’s-Exempt list for all or part of the 2015 season.  The thinking is that the Cowboys would only owe him game checks and not per-game roster bonuses if he’s suspended with pay.

My understanding was that anything over $8M was going to get us a 3rd RD pick...but then there's that whole issue of number of snaps and the suspension. I don't know the hard numbers for that. No one may since they keep it all a secret...kinda.

 

Someone said that anything less than a 6 game suspension and we're good. SO I guess that's our next question. The suspension.

I propose that from this moment forward anyone who starts a Greg Hardy thread gets banned.

Here's hoping he produces just as much for them as he did for us.

[tondi]

We will certainly get to see how he does since Dallas is on TV every frickin week.

[ncmonzta]

So, does anyone understand comp picks well enough to interpret what this means for us in 2016?

The actual formula isn't public. If it's based on annual compensation, could be great news; if it's on overall pay, could be bad.

What does this mean for comp pick?

we don't get a comp pick, because it is for replacing the production from that player from last year, since he didn't play but 1 game we are missed nothing so we get nothing.

He's over $8 million a year, so that's 1 condition met

 

The other is he has to be on the roster for 10 weeks to qualify. So if he's suspended for 6 games or less, we're looking good for a 3rd round comp pick.

That's not how that works.
