if bennett and hardy both make it to free agency, who would you rather have?

[n1handsome]

greg hardy has been insane with the panthers piling up 15 sacks this season compared to bennett's 8.5

hes also 2 years younger than bennett

lets throw in michael johnson from the bengals in the mix too for fun

I really doubt Hardy would make the FA. I would say bring Bennett in and go after Byrd or Ward. Resign Melton, Collins, Wooten, and go after Dansby if price is right.

 

[Broc]

Hardy obviously but no way he makes it to FA.

 

[FrenchieBully]

Guys like him don't make it to FA until they are in their 30's..... cough Peppers and Allen..

 

[jcl2399]

I think Pep is gone saving us around 9mil in cap this year to bring in at least 3 maybe 4 good D FA signings.

Peppers-Haynesworth-Ratliff-Allen

I think Hardy is going to make it to FA for the fact the Panthers are going to have to pay Cam pretty soon and depending on how Hardy does in the playoffs his price may go up even more.

 

[Jack Lame]

Michael Bennett really isnt that good.

 

[sewie]

Do the Panthers have the payroll to keep Hardy and Captain?

They probably won't be paying more than we just paid for Cutler. That ship sailed forget Hardy. McCown/Hardy was a possibility.

And Cam is going to want a raise after taking them to the playoffs, they can't tag him because they won't have the money so I believe that Hardy might leave.

Michael Johnson please

 

[Jack Lame]

Don't forget the Panthers, signed Charles Johnson to a big mega deal two years ago. Might be tough to pay both.

Please God no.

 

[jcl2399]

I would be shocked if they let Hardy walk though. The guy put up 18.5 sacks, Captain would be the one I think that would draw the short stick.

 

[Jack Lame]

Michael Johnson please

Buyer beware. Did absolutely nothing when Geno Atkins went down. Remember another DE we had that dissapeared when Tommie Harris wasn't putting the pressure on inside?

I'll pass on Johnson. Bennett would be ok if the salary wasn't to bad but I prefer Hardy.

 

[Sagbear]

The obvious choice is Hardy but that's a pipe dream we just have way to many needs on D and even if we let Pep go we still have to take a cap hit. If we sign Bennett it lets us do more in FA, Bennett is a good not great DE good against the run and pass. 7.5 sacks as a institutional role is pretty good. I say Bennett, Byrd or Ward and another CB would help the defense out a bunch.

This is exactly what I was saying, Get bennet, Ward (Byrd will ask for way much more money), draft HA HA, and grab Dansby to help coach up the rookie LB's.

This would be nice but a lot of luck would be needed.
