Pay the man.  I don't care how we get it done, but we have to.   And he WANTS to be here.  Yeah, he wants to get paid, but this isn't a JP case where the guy is dying to get out of Charlotte.  I think we can lock hardy up long term for a relatively reasonable rate.

I read on: http://www.spotrac.com/premium/research/nfl/contract-forecast-greg-hardy-370/

Which says we aren't in terrible cap shape for a contract for Hardy. Of we could keep the band together for a few more years...

I know it's easy to sit here now and say we shoulda have locked Hardy up early, but DG's plan all along was to have a dominant DL.

He double dipped in the draft, brought in solid rotation guys.

DG must have really not been sold on Hardy at all before the season. Because with all the other pieces, Hardy was going to have his opportunities. He's made the most of them the last few weeks and really has bit us in the ass.

This guy has all the talent in the world and when his head is in it he can be as good as he wants. 5 weeks ago I would have been ok letting him walk. But after the NO game and yesterday, I don't know of we can afford to let him walk.

If we locked him up before the season started and way underpaid him we would be in a situation like with Chris Johnson who was disgruntled in Tennessee. We need to pay Hardy what is the going rate for a player of his skill level. It is best for all parties to be fair. Otherwise we need to let him go and find his replacement. I am buoyed by the fact that the Giants rarely let their defensive pass rushers hit the market until their production has eroded. I imagine we will match any offers. We may let him test free agency whereas Hurney would overlay to lock them up. Hardy has to be one of the premier free agents at the DE spot. He will get a 5 year 50 million deal and be worth every penny.

OK I'll go on record saying I want us to keep Hardy. He is a beast However I understand we might not be able to afford him. So with that being said would anyone be OK with possibly tagging then trading him to a team like the raiders for their first round pick and then taking someone like Clowney to replace him? Also I don't follow college so using Clowney as an example if someone is better take him instead.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
