Agent's Take: 3 ways the Cowboys could structure a Greg Hardy deal
By Joel Corry | Former Sports Agent
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...ys-could-structure-a-friendly-greg-hardy-deal
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed the team's desire to sign Greg Hardy to a contract extension last week after Chief Operating Officer/Executive Vice President/Director of Player Personnel Stephen Jones, his son, told 105.3 The Fan, a CBS Sports Radio station in Dallas, that a long term deal was an absolute possibility for the controversial defense end. There's mutual interest from Hardy, who served a four-game suspension under the NFL Personal Conduct Policy at the beginning of the season because of a 2014 domestic violence incident in which charges were dismissed when the alleged victim refused to cooperate with the Charlotte (N.C.) District Attorney's office.
This was after a Mecklenburg County judge had previously found Hardy guilty of those same domestic violence charges. His conviction was set aside as required by North Carolina law because of his appeal for a jury trial.
Cowboys ownership's stance toward Hardy is a surprise to many outside of the organization. Some outsiders were advocating that the team suspend, if not release, Hardy after a sideline altercation with special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia during Week 7's loss to the New York Giants. Prior to the outburst, Hardy showed a lack of remorse about his legal troubles leading up to his 2015 season debut.
Hardy is the latest example of talent outweighing everything else. The 2013 All-Pro has given a tremendous boost to an anemic pass rush by recording three sacks, which ties him for the team lead. He's also intercepted a pass and forced a fumble in three games since his suspension ended.
Here's a look at how the Cowboys can best protect themselves in a long-term deal for Hardy after first examining his market value.
