CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Defensive end Greg Hardy has signed his franchise tag tender with the Carolina Panthers, a person familiar with the situation said Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the signing has not been made official. Hardy, who said in January hed have no issue if the team used the franchise tag to keep him, will make $13.1 million for one season if he doesnt sign a long-term extension. The Panthers have until July 15 to sign Hardy to a long-term deal. After that date they cant discuss a contract extension until after the season is over. When the Panthers used the franchise tag on Hardy Friday, general manager Dave Gettleman said in a press release it was done so to buy more time to potentially work out a long-term extension with the former Mississippi star. "The franchise mechanism gives us time to secure the services of a very good player while we continue to look at the future of Greg with the Carolina Panthers," Gettleman said. "We have had great dialogue with both Greg and his agent. It was important to keep our defensive front together." The four-year NFL veteran had 15 sacks last season, tying a franchise record previously established by Kevin Greene in 1996, and was selected to his first Pro Bowl. Hardy has 26 sacks in his last two seasons. Hardy led the Panthers with 38 quarterback pressures last season and posted a career-high 67 tackles for the NFC South champions. The Panthers led the league in sacks last season with 60. Gettleman said Hardy was "a big reason we were able to lead the league in sacks last year and keeps our defensive line intact."

Trained by Bob Baffert, Secret Circle was one of six older horses going six furlongs in Saturdays $200,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita. The 6- year-old was ridden by Martin Garcia from post 4. Sent off as the 2-1 co-favorite with Distinctiv Passion, Secret Circle prompted the pace as Distinctiv Passion pulled the field up the backstretch. Secret Circle had a short lead coming off the final turn but was soon joined by 5-1 fourth pick Conquest Two Step and jockey Joe Talamo. Secret Circle and Conquest Two Step battled through the stretch but it was Conquest Two Step prevailing by 1 1/4 lengths at the wire and stopping the timer at 1:08.10. Wild Dude, the 3-1 third choice, was third followed by Distinctiv Passion, Big Macher and Chief Lion. He had a perfect trip. I was very happy to see three horses in a speed duel. I just stayed outside and he wasnt even getting any dirt in his face. What a race he rran, Talamo said.dddddddddddd. Conquest Two Step returned $13.00, $5.40 and $3.20. Secret Circle paid $4.00 and $3.00, and Wild Dude paid $3.00 to show. Secret Circle has not won since the 2013 Breeders Cup Sprint at Santa Anita. In five starts last year he had three seconds, a third and a fourth. He was the 3-10 favorite in the Midnight Lute at Santa Anita on Dec. 27 but finished fourth behind Distinctiv Passion. Conquest Two Step, trained by Mark Casse for Conquest Stables, made his 2015 debut a winning one and earned $120,000. The 4-year-old colt has won three of 10 career starts for $209,408. They set it up nice for him. I was smiling pretty big down the backside (at the fractions) watching those three go at it, Casse said. Well enjoy this one today and hopefully try to win another one. The Palos Verdes is Conquest Two Steps initial stakes victory. He lost a neck decision in Decembers Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita to Shared Belief. We were high on his last race, when he ran second to Shared Belief, Talamo commented, and I know a lot of people thought it was a fluke but he really ran that same race again today. ' ' '
