If you look at the leading pass rushers in this league..the ones with the most sacks are not even 1st rounders. Most of them are 2nd rounders, 3rd and 4th rounders.......Greg Hardy himself was a 6th rounder.
Well I mean who exactly is a immediate pass rusher? Demarcus Ware came into the league with 8 sacks. JJ Watt had 5.5. Even a top 10 or top 5 pick is gonna come in and struggle some as a rookie.
I'm not against Hardy coming here but with a suspension looming...what should the money be? What exactly could his market be?
Money is the million dollar question.
You've got a guy who was living a bit of a wild life --parties, coke et al that has sat out a year.
He is also coming off of a couple double digit sack seasons and was a franchise player.
6 sacks as a rookie is impressive. But you can't really expect that from someone taken at pick 27 or below. You'd like to think guys taken top 15 get you that as a rookie. see aaron donald
But it goes straight back to money.
Hughes got 9.5m and is a lesser pass rush talent than Hardy.
Also had to find a second team after fizzling in Indy so it could all be timing.
And the timing "MIGHT" be the only reason Dallas could get in on Hardy.
ultimately, not sure any of us have ANY idea about the money.
Hardy could get 100 million or he could get something much less because teams are scared he won't be around.
I know Dallas would love an upgrade at DE. Just not sure how they feel about Hardy.
but i can send you a slightly used buck knife and 4 spent shotgun shells and tashards choices autograph book.
