Everson Griffin gets 5 years 42.5 million

Its called stupid money and happens every year at this time. It take about a week or two and things settle into a more realistic price range

For those complaining about 13 mil a year for elite pass rushers, this contract is a severe wake up call.

Honestly, 13 mil is cheap for Hardy.

He will get his long term contract, cause the best of CJ's career is behind him.

How is CJ best days behind him? The guy is only 27. The guy is a solid play pass rusher and good run stopper. Now tell me how he has slowed down. Aside from him slowing down at the end of the season when he got leg whipped by a pats olineman. CJ never really had time to heal. CJ ain't never  really had a major injury and he is still young. I have no idea what your talking about his best days are behind him.

What's up with all the CJ hate? The guy is a tremendous player.

Who is hating him. I'm saying CJ is has some yrs left. Claw is pointing out that his best years is behind him. Which I disagree. I love CJ. Claw seems to think CJ is about done of something. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

CJ is way better than Tuck and saying otherwise is blatant trolling. Tuck is a good pass rusher. CJ is a very good pass rusher and a very good run defender. Not only is CJ better at the thing Tuck is best at he's also a complete package.

He's mid-tier and inconsistent like Bowers.

 

Ouch, that's a little harsh. Griffen has been somewhat productive as a rotational guy. Obviously the Vikings believe he can build on that as a starter. Bowers ain't ever done squat, dude's a flat out bust. 17.5 sacks V 5.5 sacks over the last 3 years.

 

Bowers had 2 tackles and 1 sack in 13 games last year, dear lord, we got more out of Horton.

[CelticCat]

CJ and Hardy are both great but Hurney overpaid him by about 15 mill. His contract is worth about 20 mill more than any other Panther.

 

Did we need too? IDK but we got caught once again having the best DE in FA about to hit the market.

What this means for Greg Hardy....

 

 

 

                                                            

[pantherclaw]

Hardy should be part of the puzzle! Rather keep hardy over CJ! 30mil in cap space on two guys! Successful teams don't do that! I don't envy Gman cause his work is cut out for him

successful teams do it all the time.

Shields is a borderline #2 CB? Clearly you haven't seen his numbers...

He wasn't that guy until very recently. Regardless, his numbers do not merit THAT contract. It's awesome for him but, they are completely fudging the market.
