Cowboys don't bring Greg Hardy back?

The most controversial free agent last offseason will Kenbrell Thompkins Jerseylikely be the most controversial free agent of this offseason as well. Mike Fisher of 105.3 The Fan in Dallas said that the Dallas Cowboys have decided they will not bring back defensive end Greg Hardy. Hardy was signed last year, the team immediately got heat for it, Hardy was a regular disruption and now one report says the Cowboys are done with him. If that is the final decision it wouldn't be a surprise, as there were reports last year the team had tired of Hardy. Hardy is a top-shelf pass rusher,http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/kevin-faulk-jersey_c-419.html which would make another round of his free agency interesting. In 2014 Hardy missed 15 games due to a high-profile domestic violence case. His free agency in 2015 was a bit slow, and when Hardy's agent tried to leak that the Oakland Raiders were interested to gain some leverage, Raiders owner Mark Davis angrily denied it. That underscored how lukewarm the market was for Hardy. The Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were known to be interested, but the Bucs dropped out and Hardy signed with the Cowboys shortly afterward. "At the end of the day, we didn't feel good about it," Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht told http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/kyle-arrington-jersey_c-428.htmlthe Tampa Bay Times last March. The Cowboys signed Hardy to a creative $11.3 million deal. They had to structure it in an unusual way because they knew Hardy would be suspended, but didn't know for how long. Hardy was suspended 10 games and it was reduced to four on appeal. The pros with Hardy are obvious: Brandon Scherff JerseyHe is in his prime at age 27 and can rush the quarterback. He has two double-digit sack seasons in his career. Does that outweigh everything else? He would show up late to work with the Cowboys. He was criticized for social media messages about the domestic violence case. He fought with teammates. He fought with coaches. He seemed to fracture the locker room. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett and owner Jerry Jones spent most of a lost season explaining away various episodes. There was also the public relations hit of taking on a player who was accused of being involved in a frightening incident. But, hey, Hardy can rush the http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Brandon-Scherff-Jerseyquarterback. As long as executives and coaches have little job security, players like Hardy will usually get a shot. That's just life in the NFL; desperate teams hope that a few more wins placate the fans who are upset with signing someone with a checkered past. Don't expect that to change. But assuming the report is accurate and the Cowboys don't sell their soul again to bring back Hardy (and with Randy Gregory's suspension, who knows if the Cowboys can resist), it will be interesting to see if the market is any different for him this time. On the bright side for Hardy, if he hits free agency this year, he won't have a pending NFL suspension hanging over his head. Teams will get a full year of Hardy on the field.
