https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/03/18/dallas-cowboys-sign-greg-hardy-dealMaybe they did not want the precedence in Dallas.
Greg Hardy's deal had language for no franchise tag after his one year deal.
Dallas is undoubtedly taking a risk in signing him. But the team has protected itself by giving him what amounts to a one-year, prove-it deal. While Hardy can earn more than $13 million, his base salary is only $745,000 with the rest coming in a workout bonus, per-game roster bonuses and incentives. The Cowboys cannot franchise tag Hardy, so given the cash incentives and the prospect of free agency in 2016, he should certainly enter this season with plenty of motivation.
