Greg Hardy to the Cowboys

[4Corners]

I bet he doesn't get suspended A single game

[O-Ther]

Jesus. Forget it. I think I'll just operate under the assumption that we won't get any and go from there. If we do then hey awesome sauce.

 

Best way to deal with it.

 

[MadHatter]

Only counts as he earns them I believe. So cap # will increase in season as he earns the per-game bonuses.

 

Which means that the Boys cannot be up against the cap for the full season.  Otherwise, they will be over the cap for the year.

[JawnyBlaze]

Honestly best scenario possible that didn't involve him resigning with us. High salary so comp pick likely, lesser of the reported 3 evils interested, and it's only one year so next year when our books are in order we can afford to bring him back while he's still young. Calling it now, next year's big splash FA addition is the Kraken

[MadHatter]

Oh ok. So the intial cap hit is only a little over $2M but grows as he plays. That makes much more sense. Thank you.

And they will have to have the cap room during the year to absorb the increases.

I was wrong, here's how it's being counted:

 

Andrew Brandt ‏@adbrandt  1m1 minute ago

Hardy roster bonuses, past Game Two, are NLTBE (not likely to be earned), based on 2014, count if earned after end-of-year reconciliation.

 

So I guess that means his cap number is $2.64m for the entire year, then is reconciled at the end of the year for however many games he played?

I think there is a chance we re-sign him

Honestly best scenario possible that didn't involve him resigning with us. High salary so comp puck likely, lesser of the reported 3 evils interested, and it's only one year so next year when our books are in order we can afford to bring him back while he's still young. Calling it now, next year's big splash FA addition is the Kraken

 

But he gave up playing next to Gerald McCoy and Henry Melton in Tampa to be next to Nick Hayden and Terrell McClain in Dallas. Why would he ever want to leave the Cowboys after this season?

I love how the NFL media suddenly doesn't care whatsoever about Hardy's trial. As Igo pointed out on Twitter, the same ones just killing him and the Panthers last year are suddenly and mysteriously acting like it was all overblown now that he's a Cowboy.

Now THAT is some magic right there. So if he balls out next year and they don't have the cap space to pay for the newly recalculated cap hit then so what? It's not like there is a penalty for being over the cap. You just have to be under it on the day the new year starts. That is some brilliant sh1t right there.

 

EDIT: And if there is a penalty then why wasn't New Orleans hit with it when they were like $24M over the cap 3 weeks ago?

[iamhubby1]

Where did I imply that? You need a hooked on phonics marathon

The use of profanity is a device that adds strength to a statement. A statement in which you alluded to the fact we need Ealy to step up. Hence...It must be uber important for Ealy to play well or we are, as you so eloquently stated, fuged.

So yeah. Evidently, you think it is either Ealy steps up, or we are done. Maybe you should read, or better yet, think about, what you type. Nah, that would be asking too much.

Or...it could just be me giving a goofy comment to much attention.

football is dumb and stupid and i dont even like it

 

ok not really but damn this is frustrating

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

I think there is a chance we re-sign him

 

After this season?
