Hardy signed? (Probably a misprint)

[bfelt]

According to FoxSports.com's article on the top cap casualties, LB Kevin Hardy has already been signed by the Cowboys:

"Is this Hardy rejoicing over losing in Cincy? Well, no, but he has landed with Bill Parcells and the Cowboys in hopes of sniffing the playoffs."

How could this be true and not have made the news before? Or am I totally oblivious?

I can't find any other source.........

It would be an interesting move.

Hardy remains listed as unsigned so perhaps his former team/city knows more than we do about his final destination. He is an experienced 3-4 LB both ILB and OLB.


It would be a quite good move if the price is right. The only reason we didn't resign him before was finances. I still remmeber him coming out in San Antonio in that black Cowboy hat, embracing the team and fans.

I think the cart is in front of the horse. FoxSports is usually pretty reliable though. Be interesting to find out if this is true or an error.

I cant find a single thing on it except the news does all seem to be originating from bengals.com reporters.

He doesn't want to retire and was actively participating in the Bengals off-season right up until his release.

Hopefully it gets addressed today one way or the other.

I hope it's true.

Hardy was one of the diamonds on that horrible 2002 team. He played after the reconstructive surgery.

Great competition for camp if true.

If ture then Singleton is likely gone if Hardy's cap number is lower. The only reason i think we may keep Singleton is for veteran presense in the LB corps along with Dat. Don't think we want to be too young.

I am still skeptical about this. I think the author jumped the gun.

don't take this the wrong way, but the less rookies on the field, the better.

This would be a great move if we made it. Hardy coming back would be a big boost to the 3-4.

LBer is the one position I think we are weakest at and BP knows how to take guys like a Brian Cox or a Kevin Hardy and put them in positions where their abilities shine even late in their careers.

Make it so.

FYI that thing has a few mis prints like Samari Rolle being signed by the Skins when he is actually with the Ravens.

 

[Dallas4ever]

I'm not sure how much gas is left in Hardy's tank but it wouldn't be a bad move for a very cheap price. Anytime you can add proven veteran depth to your team it's a good thing. He had a respectable season with the Bengals last year. However, let's remember that there will be some other sevicable players released soon. No need to jump the gun on Hardy, he'll be around.

You're right.

And if this is true... it's a good move. Hardy is a good LBer.

 

[Zaxor]

If this turns out to be accurate...I like it... if he is an ILB... he seemed just a tad slow last year to be playing outside...and I hope he takes Dat's place on the inside and slide Dat on the outside...It lets Dat showcase his play-making ability while giving us a much bigger body inside...I could not tell you how relieved I would be knowing Dat is not going up against guards play after play

 

[Hollywood Henderson]

I would be more reliaved to be watching dat play ONLY on nickle/dime & ST pkgs...

Too slow & small is a bad combo platter for a NFL LBer inside or outside...

BP was concerned about size on the outside opposite Ware. Hardy could fit the bill I guess and allow Burnett a year to bulk up (although on a 6-10 team, your second rounders should be starting).

Interesting to see if it was true, but if the price was right (cheap), I guess I could deal with it. Agree on Singleton.

I don't know if they're reliable or not, Hos... on another board, a poster said they also have Samari Rolle listed as having signed with the Skins...

Ooops, I see that point has already been made...

Anyway, I wouldn't be annoyed at all if they were right about Hardy...

Hey does anybody have any stats on Hardy, cause i'm kind of in the dark about this (looking down in embarrasment)

Played in 16 games last year. 9 years in the league,

Here's his line last year.

69 Tckls, 42 Solo, 27 Asst, 4 Sacks, 0 INTs, 4 PD

He's 6-4 260.

Can play in either 34 pr 43. Excellent team guy. Real Pro.

 

[dargonking999]

Thanx ABQ, sounds good to me, lets hope it isnt a misprint

 

[Scotman]

This would be great at the right price. I liked Hardy when he was here. Can he still run?
