Did we just lose Greg Hardy discount...

FRANCHISE TAG.

Nah, Hardy is a talent that could plug and play on any line in the league due to his work ethic.

 

He could definitely make an impact anywhere, but the talent on our front 7 definitely opens up a lot of opportunity for him.  It's tough to focus on Hardy when you also have to worry about the likes of CJ, Star, Keek, and TD.

Fitzgeralds to be specific. By brother is a bouncer there

Honestly I think him making the pro bowl will make him want to stay in Carolina even more. He's playing the best football of his career in Carolina with this defense and this personnel and he knows that. He won't be as relevant anywhere else other than the with the Panthers. I would hate to see him be the type of player that goes to like the Raiders and never becomes relevant again. 

 

 

Greg Hardy is a good player.  Saying he would only be relevant with the Panthers is disrespectful. 

 

What if he goes to a team like Arizona or Seattle or big market like Dallas or New York?   Do you think he wouldn't be relevant?

 

I wish he could have been signed early but it's done.  He has leverage .. He is 25 years old.. back to back double digit sacks..versatile and no real history of injury.  I figure we have to franchise and hope a decent deal can be worked out.  If not then the show moves on.  Can't hate if the man want to make the most he can.  He possibly has 2 big contracts in him.  5 year and another 5 year at 30.  You have to make sure you make as much as you can in that 8-15 year window. 

 

That being said I really, really really hope we can sign him. If we can get that 8.5-9.5 mill a year range it would be awesome.

We will get something out of him. A 1st round tender?

[iamhubby1]

I want to keep Hardy. You want to keep Hardy. The Pantherz want to keep Hardy. We all want to keep Hardy. And there are a bunch of teams out there that want him to hit the open market.

Man, I don't want this to end badly.

Greg Hardy is gone baby gone. He will want too much and we wont pay up. The beauty of having the no 1defense is it means you have cushion to lose a player like Hardy and still be a top 8 D in the league. Business is business, let him walk, use the money for O line. Wes Horton and Addison arent world beaters but plug them in Hardy's place and we are still a top 7 unit.

Exactly. Gettleman has made it clear he wants to build this team starting with the trenches. Resigning his best d-lineman will be his top priority this offseason, trust in that

That will be the dumbest priority list Gettleman could make. We have more glaring issues.

CB, OL, and WR. DL is somewhere on the bottom.

[General_Purr]

So many kids look up to him as a Panther. He's the Kraken!! He will be HOF if he stays on Panthers

Could he bounce The Kraken?

I love Hardy but i don't want to overpay for him. It will suck to get nothing in return for him. I know he is young but I still think CJ is the better DE. Hardy benefits so much from having CJ on the other side of him. Notice how Hardy's two worst games of the season were when CJ was out.

Are you only going by sacks, because that isn't really a fair comparison?  CJ is back but I don't think he's really back, so Hardy has been carrying that line since he got hurt.  Hardy is also able to play DT when needed for extra pass rush.  He's valuable and we should try to keep him if possible.

Based on stats and advanced stats, Hardy is in line for a very big payday. Were talking CJ type of money or close to it, Hardy is going to get 10+ million a season or the franchise tag from the Panthers. Back to back seasons in the top 5 of NFL DE's in Pressure stats = he's getting paid.
