Yep. However, there is an additional layer of scrutiny there that any Free Agent will have to pass: High character. The Hardy signing taught a harsh lesson to the Dallas Front Office, and right or wrong, I think they put a good bit of the blame for last year's collapse on a decay in character that occurred in the locker room.
A guy like Hardy wouldn't be signed in this upcoming off season. As a matter of fact, I don't think a guy who has any character issues will be signed... much less a guy like Hardy.
So, like you, I see Hardy as proof that they'll pay for the right pass rusher when they think they're a contender. However, that signing also makes me think that it'll be more difficult than ever to find the right guy to spend on.
I tend to agree with JDSmith on this: two or three mid level defensive players might be the way they go in order to improve their pass rush (along with the draft of course). I see that as much, much more likely to occur.
And frankly, that would be a huge improvement over the bargain bin shopping they did this past off season.
