Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman made the announcement Wednesday.
#Panthers GM Dave Gettleman mentions Hardy is a great player, then shakes it off: “He has to get this right, we have to get this right.”

By agreeing to the exemption, Hardy will be deactivated without pay, likely until his legal issues are resolved.
Hardy has a court appearance on Nov. 17 regarding an alleged domestic violence incident.
