Undervalued

1. Greg Hardy, Defensive End

We recognized Hardy’s potential when we named him Carolina’s Secret Superstar back in 2011, and he’s since steadily developed into one of the league’s best edge defenders. His+27.0 overall grade this season was the third highest of any 4-3 defensive end, and only three players in the league topped his 82 total quarterback pressures. While fellow bookend Charles Johnson has been a much better pass rusher than run defender, Hardy was one of only four edge defenders to post a +10.0 grade in both phases of the game. He’ll have a tough time outproducing his projected $13.1m cap hit this coming season under the franchise tag, but he was an absolute steal for the Panthers during his rookie deal.

2013 Cap Hit: $1.3m
2013 Performance Based Value: $11.2m
Value Differential: +$9.9m

 

 

Overvalued

1. Jon Beason, Linebacker

In what might seem like a familiar story to Panthers fans, Beason was drafted in the first round, quickly took over the middle linebacker spot, and earned heaping praise and multiple Pro Bowl selections thanks to high tackle totals and strong leadership. Though we never ranked him among the league’s best linebackers, the Panthers gave him the richest middle linebacker contract in NFL history in 2011. Unfortunately, a plague of injuries limited Beason to just five games in the next two seasons, and Luke Kuechly’s arrival made him expendable once he finally returned healthy in 2013. Though the Panthers smartly traded Beason to the Giants after Week 3 (he would finish the season with the worst coverage grade of any inside linebacker), they still took on most of his hefty salary.

2013 Cap Hit: $5.3m
2013 Performance Based Value: $100k
Value Differential: -$5.2m
