News: DC: Cowboys Agree To Terms With Pro Bowl DE Greg Hardy

1 year deal?


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO


He'll never be cheaper then he is right now.

And Hardy knew that. So that's why he wanted a 1 year deal. I just hope we can franchise him after this year.

Time for AP to come knocking

I'm not a big fan of getting AP with this nice draft class in front of us.
But have to admit, this cap-friendly deal in no way hampers it.

I am fine with the one year deal. They can franchise him next year if need be and let's be frank, a 5 year $35+m guaranteed deal that it would take to guarantee his presence could just as easily blow up in our face.

 

[mugsybows]

say he tears it up this year, will we have enough money down the road to sign him to a long term contract?

 

[Risen Star]

Weird deal.

 

[CATCH17]

Which is exactly why he didn't want to take more than 1 year. Why is this so hard to understand?

Im sorry.. When did this guy gain any leverage?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Greg Hardy signed a 1 year / $11,300,000 contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including an annual average salary of $11,300,000. In 2015, Hardy will earn. Hardy has a cap hit of .

So much for morality. Sex sells.

So much for rule of law. Outrage sells.

The one year deal does leave open the chance we may sill draft a DE if a really good one falls to us.
Wouldn't bet on it, but the possibility is real. Rookies usually don't give you too much anyway.

 

[Alexander]

Weird deal.

It is a little like the Melton one in the fact that it is prove it.

I think this is a different breed of player that will make good on betting on himself.

At least Hardy is in the clubhouse for the time being... I take this as a show me what you can do type of situation and we'll cross that bridge when we get there regarding his future

If he has a monster year and demands more $$$, we either sign him to a multi or we can draft his replacement in 2016..

 

[BigD_95]

A one year deal makes the most sense for Hardy by a wide margin. XWalker said this early on, it gives Hardy a chance to reestablish his value on a playoff team and then go after the really big contract next year when there isn't a cloud hanging over him.

And as others have said, we can franchise him for next year if we want to pony up 15 Million for it.

who cares what makes sense for him! Right now we have the upper hand. We should have signed him to a longer contract period. This is a awful deal. He uses us to show the world he is a changed man and then makes more money.

 

[Bizwah]

I'm not sure. It seems like we'll be in the same boat next year. Shopping for a pass rusher.

I'm not a fan of "rent-a-player". McClain worked out last year, but we can't seem to lock him up and we're in the market for a LB. I can see this happening with Hardy.

 

[Wood]

clearly the extensive negotiations where about Dallas not being on hook in case things take left turn for Hardy in bad way. Kudos to Stephen for getting possible the best pass rusher in football for no guaranteed money. That is rare.

Im sorry.. When did this guy gain any leverage?

So, he's good enough to sign long term, but you are under the impression that he had "no leverage." Are you even listening to yourself?

Not what I would have preferred.

Oh well.

He could have a no franchise clause.

Yeah and then he gets a whole lot more expensive.

I think we paid Anthony Spencer about the same to be on IR the entire year a couple of years ago. I love this deal.
