I'd like to hear some speculations as to what type of deal we might actually get Hardy to sign. Such as a Melton type deal with bigger numbers or what have you. I guess it all depends on how many if any games he has to miss.
Melton's Deal was: $1.25 Million base, $1 Million signing bonus, with an extra $78,125 per week if he makes the 46 man roster totaling $1.25 Million. The 3 year option increased it to $9 Million base salary for 2015 and $7.5 Million for 2016-2017 all of which we declined to pick up. There was also $1.5 Million in incentives for playing time and sacks.
Melton said: "I didn't have to be talked into [the contract] at all," Melton said. "I knew what was out there. The ACL scares a lot of teams and a lot of people. You can come back great from it. That's something that I believe I can do. Just have to buckle down and get physically and mentally ready and train my butt off just to be ready to go."
Anyways I'm not a big numbers guy so I leave it to the number cruncher's for some ideas. My best guess is somewhere between $7 to $13 Million per with incentives...
