Hardy maybe drawing some interest

It's so disappointing that despite our glaring need for a pass rusher, we won't bring Hardy back.

We paid him knowing he hadn't had any real game experience in over a year. We paid him knowing he had baggage.

And now he's a year removed from all of that with a full season under his belt and we can't be bothered because he's late for meetings. Which is something we knew about him before we signed him.

if we expected him to completely change his habits we shouldn't have ever signed him. We could've just kept Ware. And we'd have him mentoring Gregory and we'd have more flexibility in this draft.

Too bad we have such a weak head coach.

You don't say? A good pass rusher still in his prime, drawing interest from NFL clubs?

A good pass rusher in his prime has a total of 7 sacks over the past two seasons?

Do yall get the feeling we are wasting our time giving Benson Mayowa and Offer Sheet because just figuring the low numbers.....Oakland will simply match it...so why bother at all ?????

That's a nice selective way of stating what you said.

He actually had 7 sacks in 13 games. He played in just one game in 2014 and only 12 games in 2015.

6 sacks in 12 games (8 in 16 average) after not having played a year and dealing with a lot of legal and emotional drama. Not bad production. Most guys would be happy with 8+ sacks.

If it's a young DE they like, yeah, they'll probably match it. Unless it's the right combination of money and term. But in that case, we probably shouldn't be writing that deal ourselves.

Unless you're in the clubhouse with the team, it's hard to understand exactly why it is they don't want him back. A lot of the players probably have their own annoyances the team deals with, so it makes me think he had to have really rubbed people the wrong way for them to not want to work through his issues. Remember how he acted towards the special team coaches during a game?

What amazes me the most is cutting decent players for dress code violations, but leaving people like Street on the roster who bring literally nothing but a suit on game day, and they are going to let Hardy go because he was late to meetings, but keep people like Street and Hayden on the roster because why? They show up on time in a suit? Give me a break.

Roughly the same stats George Selvie had for the team in 2013
