The Dallas Cowboys have make splash with their latest signing and many fans and media in the Dallas area are asking why. After dropping the ball and deciding not to resign DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys have decided to make moves on the defensive side by signing former Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy.
According to ESPN,
The Dallas Cowboys have signed Greg Hardy to a one-year, $11.3 million deal that could be worth up to just over $13 million, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Although Hardy could face a league suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the team said it agreed to terms with the former Carolina Panthers defensive end on Wednesday.
The team confirmed the deal Wednesday afternoon on Twitter.
An NFL spokesman told ESPN that Hardy’s situation remains under review and the league will have a resolution on his status as soon as possible.
Hardy and the Cowboys have had ongoing negotiations, and he stayed overnight in Dallas before his scheduled physical, which took place Wednesday morning.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a statement that the team spent “a great deal of time” meeting with Hardy and reviewing his situation.
“Obviously, a great deal of our study was dedicated to the issue of domestic violence and the recent events that associated Greg with that issue,” Jones said. “We know that Greg’s status remains under review by the National Football League.
“Our organization understands the very serious nature of domestic violence in our society and in our league. We know that Greg has a firm understanding of those issues as well.”
