SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Convicted Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy said he wants to remain with the Carolina Panthers beyond this season. Hardy addressed the media before Sundays practice but refused to answer specific questions about his recent conviction on two domestic violence charges except to say, "I hate that I have distracted my team." Hardy, the teams franchise player, was convicted this month of assaulting a female and communicating threats and sentenced to a 60-day suspended jail sentence and 18 months probation following a May 13 incident in which he attacked his ex-girlfriend in his apartment. Hardy is appealing the conviction. When asked directly and indirectly about his conviction, Hardy replied on six different occasions "I cant answer that question." Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman last week refused to discuss how the conviction might impact Hardys long-term future with the team. Gettleman would only say Hardy is under contract for one season. Gettleman had briefly considered a long-term contract for Hardy earlier this off-season, but eventually made him the teams franchise player. Hardy quickly signed the one-year tender in March, paying him $13.1 million for one season. Hardy said he was glad to sign the tender. "Its awesome," Hardy said. "I get to stay another year and hang out with my guys and play some football. Nothing really wrong with that." Hardy said his goal is to re-sign with Carolina at some point. "I love this place," Hardy said. "This is a great atmosphere. I love the ownership (and) my teammates. I have had a great five years here." Hardy, entering his fifth NFL season, tied a franchise-record with 15 sacks last season and has 26 over the past two seasons as a starter. Hardy is clearly hoping his on-field success outweighs the negative publicity he created off the field. Asked if he thinks he will remain in Carolina long term, Hardy said, "We will see. Play a good season and hopefully when you talk to Mr. Gettleman you can convince him to keep me." ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Aaron Jones Jersey .

Right after he said he would love to retire in a Giants uniform, no less.Kung Fu Panda is moving about as far away as he could go, to the American League and an East Coast team hoping to duplicate San Franciscos recent run of success. Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a multiyear contract, and the switch-hitting third baseman informed the Giants on Monday he will be taking his services elsewhere.To the greatest fans in San Francisco! Leaving the (hashtag)SFGiants & this city I love is the most difficult decision I have ever made, Sandoval posted on Twitter and Instagram. I have grown up w/you, laughed & cried w/you & you have blessed me (with) your support, friendship & love. It has been an unforgettable @SFGiants career, a great run & 3 World Series championships in 5 yrs w/great teammates, coaches, front office & fans. I will always remember you w love & my heart will always be in (hashtag)SF.Sandoval, the 2012 World Series MVP, had pondered an offer from the Giants worth about $95 million over five years, assistant general manager Bobby Evans said. San Francisco might have taken it up closer to $100 million. Thats comparable to what Sandoval is expected to receive from the Red Sox.The slugger is expected to be formally introduced Tuesday in Boston.Whats next for Evans and Giants general manager Brian Sabean is unclear, given theres hardly a panda-sized pool of available third basemen.The Giants are likely to show interest in free-agent third baseman Chase Headley. They also are expected to enter the race for Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas.Sabean said when the season ended that Sandoval was the No. 1 priority before anything else got done to build the 2015 roster.Losing Sandoval stings, and will for a while — even if he was ready for a change and new challenge after seven major league seasons with the Giants.The burly switch hitter was beloved in the Bay Area, where fans sported panda hats in his honour — including a quartet of oversized heads on a few fans during the ffranchises latest championship run.dddddddddddd. His lasting memory likely will be the moment he leaned back on bent knees and raised his arms in triumph after winning another World Series last month.He has been with us through some of the greatest moments in San Francisco Giants history — including all three World Series championships, the Giants said in a statement. We will never forget his World Series MVP performance in 2012 and his numerous contributions to the 2014 championship. His connection with Giants fans — young and old — is truly special, and he will be greatly missed. We wish him nothing but the best in Boston.The 28-year-old Sandoval met with the Red Sox last week. After winning his third World Series title in five years with San Francisco, he indicated he wanted to retire with the Giants. He is coming off a three-year deal that guaranteed him $17.15 million.Sandoval joins a big-spending Boston team that finished last in the AL East, one year after winning the World Series.Sandoval hit .279 with 16 homers and 73 RBIs in 157 games this season. He also batted .366 in the post-season with seven doubles and five RBIs, four during the World Series against Kansas City.I want to wear that jersey for the rest of my career, Sandoval said after the Oct. 31 victory parade. Im going to go from what my heart tells me.Having the chance to eventually become a designated hitter could have factored into his choice.After the season, Sandoval declined to answer when asked whether he might accept a hometown discount. He has faced constant criticism about his ever-changing waistline, and the fact he performs in the post-season but has been inconsistent through the first 162 games.Id love to be back here. I love the fans. I love my teammates, Sandoval said. They taught me a lot of things, to respect the game and play the game right.Sandoval and the Giants traded offers in the spring but failed to reach a deal.Sabean said earlier this month much of his off-season business would be dictated by what happened with Sandoval. Other free agents from the team are starting pitchers Jake Peavy and Ryan Vogelsong, reliever Sergio Romo and left fielder Michael Morse.The GM can now begin work on the next names on his checklist.
