Greg Hardy Day two, will he sign thread **Leave out Moral and legal issues**

[MRV52]

It was St. Patty's Day yesterday. Maybe everyone is hungover and sleeping in.

Maybe Hardy fell asleep and the mattress store after a tough night of dining and partying.

negotiating to buy a mattress

Okay, with the Cowboys or Bucs?

 

[Silver N Blue]

Did he bring his cache of guns to see if they would fit?

I think this is a clearly a case for Joe and Frank to figure out.....Hardy Boys and the Mystery of the Kraken......

 

[gimmesix]

Wait, I'm confused. Is Hardy in negotiations with the Cowboys or buying a mattress?

Both. He's buying a mattress so that he can take a nap at Valley Ranch while Drew Rosenhaus tries to convince the team to pay more because there's a market for his client.

 

[Sydla]

LOL. It would be typical Rosenhaus if they had a loose deal last night, then they came back today saying they hate it and want more.

 

[popp1234]

Hush yo mouth.

Just talkin' bout Lovie...

 

[Jenky]

I keep seeing tweets HES out of our price range. He wants more then we are offering. Hope this isn't true. We need him in the fold to give us a bit of leeway with the draft.

From who? They are piggybacking on the Charean Williams tweet.

 

[USMarineVet]

Then why haven't we heard anything? It's all quiet, and it's odd.

The physical is easy to knock out. The contract, not so much. Why wait for the contract to be finalized? Get the physical over with.

 

[Risen Star]

the longer these negotiations go on, the better it has to be for us right??

I would think the opposite.

You've already had your schmooze time. Today is about getting the numbers right. The longer it goes, the more I would think those numbers just aren't working.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

I'm more and more convinced that Twitter has done more harm to the news industry than good.

On the real, I know for a fact he has done this before. He has come back to the table demanding more guaranteed money after a verbal agreement more than once. That's exactly what I think happened. He put the Tampa Bay rumor out there last night and came back this morning using it to posture for more money.

Great were in for the long haul of several months of negotiations.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Do not be afraid for I have prayed to Jobu. I have offered him cigar, and rum.

Means nothing unless you have a bucket of KFC as well.

Ahh, that makes sense, and it's economical as well.

 

[AzorAhai]

Keep in mind, that Bills DE Jerry Hughes, 26, got a five-year deal worth $45 million, including $22 million guaranteed. I'm thinking that Hardy/Rosenhaus are looking for a similar type contract.

If Hardy only wants that, the Cowboys would be stupid not to do that deal.

 

[AZ_Cowboys_Fan]

I would think the opposite.

You've already had your schmooze time. Today is about getting the numbers right. The longer it goes, the more I would think those numbers just aren't working.

Keep the faith. Remember, he's probably gonna be suspended for several games in 2015 which makes this contract a bit trickier than normal.

 

[Sydla]

I would think the opposite.

You've already had your schmooze time. Today is about getting the numbers right. The longer it goes, the more I would think those numbers just aren't working.

Yeah I tend to agree with this.

We are now in the period where Rosenhaus starts playing all his games, dragging things out, etc.

I will not be surprised if Hardy leaves without a deal.

 

[Risen Star]

It's time for the front office to extend itself more than they want to lock in a player who can be a difference maker for years.

Don't waste 50 million on Brandon friggin Carr and suddenly pinch pennies with a true impact player. Take the risk. The reward is worth it.

 

[Jenky]

If Hardy only wants that, the Cowboys would be stupid not to do that deal.

I predicted 63 million for 5 years and 28 guaranteed.

 

[Alexander]

If Hardy only wants that, the Cowboys would be stupid not to do that deal.

Agreed. This should be a clear example of how far the Cowboys are willing to go and pay the price.

If they break it off due to numbers, then there is little choice than to admit that their limits are well beneath going "all in".
