The interest in Jason Jones could very well finalize Greg Hardy's exit from the Dallas Cowboys.
When the 2015 NFL season ended, two things were for certain. One was that the Dallas Cowboys needed to greatly upgrade their pass rush. The other was that the Greg Hardy's off-field problems vastly out-weighed his on-field production. At the time, signing Hardy to an incentive-laden deal looked to be a terrific move. While Hardy did have to serve a four-game suspension, there was a thought that Hardy could come in, keep his head on straight and improve the pass rush and help the younger defensive ends at the same time.
Unfortunately, Hardy was the center of attention and for all the wrong reasons. There were locker room incidents, disrespectful comments, coaching rifts, and, lastly and worse of all, the once-confidential pictures of his ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder were released in a ******** article just hours before a football game. Hardy's poor 2015 showing does not mean he's a bad football player, but it does prove that the Cowboys wanted more from the individual rather than just the player.
When free agency began, it was known that the Cowboys were going to look into improving the defensive line. Adding talent is something every teams looks to do in free agency, but the Cowboys lost some pretty good players to other teams as money was the deterrent that held them back. Adrian Clayborn and Chris Long were two targets the Cowboys had serious interest in, but when money came into the equation, the Cowboys ended up losing them to other suitors.
As each free agent signs elsewhere, there has to be some thought, maybe the Cowboys should just bite the bullet once again and hope they get best out of Hardy by signing him again to a one-year, incentive-laden deal. But the recent interest in a new defensive end could prove that the Cowboys are done with Hardy.
It was reported Monday afternoon that the Cowboys would be having Jason Jones, formerly of the Detroit Lions, come in for a visit at Valley Ranch.

I think I read this book earlier written by a different author. So every time a FA DE is linked to us it means someone is going to rehash the same article.
