Quote:Hardy is from Millington Tennessee and then played ball in Memphis (HS) and Ole Miss. There is no "hometown discount" for the Panthers. I have a hard time believing the Panthers won't try to find a way to resign him but he is a 1st round talent (fell due to injury and motivation in college. .motivation sound like Clowney?) That is being paid 6th-7th round money. We have the money and Hardy fits the bill of a young player to build around. I only hope Caldwell pulls the trigger. Plus there is no state income tax, so even more mula for Hardy

He originally offered a "hometown" discount. He then stated that 10 million off of 110 million is still a discount. He also said he doesn't want anything outrageous, but he wants the number that he worked for. One of the sites I saw earlier projected him as getting 5 years, 50 million, but it was posted before his 4 sack game.
