Quote:Thing is, since moving the Carolina about six years ago now I have become a fan of the local team here as well. Hardy said he wanted to stay there, originally. He then also stated he would give a small hometown discount since he has played four years in one uniform. Just shortly after that he said he would be open to a franchise tag, paying him over 12 million and making the Panthers have 10 million left to sign 21 other players. That also means putting off Cam's extension until next year and be in a similar situation as with Hardy, but only more expensive. And then the year after they will do the same with Luke. Ginn got 750k last season. They love him and he outproduces his salary so I expect a 1.5-2 million dollar contract for him. That means 8 million for 20 players. Captain Munnerlyn and Mitchel and Mikkel are going to get a bump up in money was well due to performance. That means even less money to go around. 

 

Lastly, the Krakens most recent comments, which he has repeated every interview since the Saints game has been " I will go where the money is ".
