If he wants a chance to shine he needs to play in D

I'm pretty sure that the nonsense about the Bucs is entirely made up by his agent to get him more money. Wouldn't be the first time Rosenhaus has pulled that shit.

That's what I was thinking...

TB came out and said they aren't really interested, which indicates his agent manufactured all that shit. Typical for Rosenhaus.


Some reports saying the deal is done, some are saying it isn't done.

Supposedly a deal has been reached; details of contract should be announced soon

I bet DPD is well aware of the situation.

Base salary of $700,000, 1 yr contract.

Per Mike Florio...

"t’s a one-year contract, which carries a salary of $750,000. He can earn up to a total of $13.1 million (which was his base salary as Carolina’s franchise player in 2014) through a series of per-game roster bonuses, incentives, and a large workout bonus.

Specifically, Hardy can earn a workout bonus of $1.3116 million, a whopping $9.25 million in per-game roster bonuses, and $1.8044 million in incentives based on sacks."

a workout bonus?

where do i sign up for that bullshit

Hardy is notorious for having a RyanB work ethic... I think it's a terrific option for his contract. Considering he's still on the NFL Bad List, the per-game bonus is also genius.

He used to be notorious for that. Everything I've seen says that he's a completely different player over the last 2-3 seasons because Ron Rivera took him under his wing and taught him one on one.


For anyone interested, Sturm did a great write up complete with clips on him.

Hell of a job by Jerry and Stephen on this deal. This is pretty much the ultimate "Show Me" deal ever. They can literally walk away from this with no noticeable financial hit on the cap if he even farts in the wrong direction.

This also shows how minimal the market was for him and how desperate he was to get a deal done. I really thought it would take more than this to get any type of deal done, but he and DR were pretty much at the end of the line on teams and a deal.

Now we get to see if he's suspended and/or how long that will be.

Mike Fisher is saying that this has no effect on their ability to get Adrian Peterson so obviously they are working on that still and are willing to do enough cap maneuvering to get it done.

[CJ]

Well guys, I think our team is nearing completion.

We have Hardy for assault on women, Dez for assault on mother, Brent for vehicular manslaughter, Randle has petty theft and possession taken care of (and backup for assault). Now if we can just get Adrian Peterson we can have child assault covered... Then I think we're just missing a convicted murderer, Jerry should probably put some feelers out for Aaron Hernandez.

[bcoop]

I still say Peterson never was an option, and really isn't now. Give up a first round pick AND $15 million in cap hit? His contract is even more absurd in 2016 and 2017. He's now named what, 4 other teams? Cowboys won't pay him what he's owed, nor will they give up a first rounder to get him.


Peterson always was a pipe dream. Come back to reality.

[CJ]

It made the joke better.
