Hardy want "big contract he worked for"

[BlackCats2013]

With really nice past 2 seasons I would say that he has earned it. Panthers will bring it I believe.

[KendrickPanther]

I love hardy but don't get carried away. He's not worth top 5 position money. I rather move on without him than be handicapped by him.

[Razeyfingers]

The Raiders have $60 million in cap space. We'll find out soon if Greg wants money or wins more. I am getting annoyed with all the money talk, though. Worry about the playoffs, then getting paid. The team will try to make it work but the salary cap does exist.

 

I agree, but the Kraken's gonna answer the questions if he's asked. I wish people around here didnt think about it as much as they do, but oh well.

 

The bottom line is we're sitting in a sweet spot that many teams would kill to be in. Its time to kick back and enjoy the ride.

oh ffs

 

look at this quote and tell me you think he wants to leave

 

 

"I would love a franchise, man. Add another year on my career," Hardy said. "Get to play football a little bit longer without a contract, another year to be in Carolina to give them a chance to get their fiscal responsibilities in order so we can be here forever like Steve (Smith) and a lot of other guys like Thomas (Davis)."

 

Look at the fuging context... 

[Anybodyhome]

Because the tag is still counted against the cap, wouldn't putting the FT on Hardy simply delay the inevitable of paying Hardy long term until the next season, which will be even more difficult when the contracts of Cam and Keuchly still need to be resolved?

 

2014: Tag Hardy and extend Cam

2015: Hardy (again) and now you have Keuchly's contract to deal with.

 

 

[pantherj]

I think we'll tag him like we tagged Peppers.

[carolina-chuck]

I hope we win the Super Bowl. If we do, we wont be in a state where we really need to retain him. Next man up and find a replacement through the draft.

 

Hearing that Lamarr Houston might not be back with Dennis Allen and the Raiders. He's a 34 DE, but is built kinda like Hardy. He could be have for a lot cheaper than Hardy and would give us something productive. Hardy will probably be wearing Black and Silver next year.

Would be good for him and CJ to make 10 mill per year, I would go for that.  Unfortunately, CJ is overpaid.  One guy won't be hear as effective without the other and without dominatiing DT's

Yeah, because Charles Johnson sure was struggling back in 2010 with 0 sacks Tyler Brayton and Landri and Hayden at DT.

Jared Allen can come on down.

He should not be negotiating through the media. Especially that media.

and they have a huge need for DEs and pass rushers, so they could spend lots of money.

I really want to keep Hardy but i think it would be smarter to hang on to that money for Cam's next contract. I dont see a way to justify having both DE's make money like we gave our RB's. You cant replace Hardy's 15 sacks but i think Addison could fill in nicely if need be. Having two elite edge rushers is more of a luxury than a necessity.
