Was that for drugs or violent behavior or theft?

Or was it because Deion Sanders screwed the kid?

Again ...... I will wait.

you can wait all you want....it is a fact.....he was also arrested for assaulting a woman....

Well we don't know everything that happened with Hardy, and probably never will.

But for us to be so desperate at DE and still not trying to sign him says alot.

I only feel comfortable if the powers that be are comfortable with adding him again since they know more about the situation than all of us. This is one situation I would have to leave to the staff, and the staff alone, cause they are the ones that deal with him and know what's up. We don't know anything but what we hear from the media while he was a Cowboy.

How many times has he been suspended?

I'll wait.

You are moving the goalposts. You listed Hardy as a "guy that needs help" and "people like this". That includes guys like Dez, but you only want to paint with a broad brush for the players you don't like. Dez was a huge character risk and that's why he dropped from the top five to the bottom of the first round, it had nothing to do with his suspension. And it was several NFL seasons before Dez matured to the point of being a trustworthy player.

How many times has Scandrick been suspended? Why isn't he on your list?

I know.

How many times has the NFL suspended Dez .......

Who cares...your belabored point is meaningless...if you can overlook Dez' issues and still throw the book at Hardy then you are being a hypocrite...good luck with that

Hardy was never, ever in trouble before this woman and has never been in trouble since this woman....I can either give him the benefit of the doubt, the benefit of the truth or understand that if it happened at all it was nothing more than a Fatal Attraction that barely got physical as he tried to get a crazy woman out of his life...

Jose Reyes and Aroldis Chapman are back playing in MLB and making millions without 1/10th of the Hardy storm...I really don't understand how he became the ultimate dirtbag....I guess it is the eye black...

Its purely about timing. If Hardy's situation had happened a month before the NFL got caught whitewashing the Ray Rice DV situation, no one would remembered that he got charged in the first place.

Hardy was "next man up" in absolute worst timing possible.

You are right....even Ray Rice doesn't get it as bad....APeterson is playing, TSuggs is playing, JHarrison is playing, Big Ben is playing....etc

Skandrick is an afterthought to me. Forget he is on the team sometimes.

I'll take that to mean you are adding Scandrick to the list of players that should never play another down in the NFL.

I don't think hardy will be back at all to big of a distraction the other suspensions will be a distraction in themselves the dallas press and other fans and their media will mention these suspensions lots of times and will ask lots of questions especially if they start of slow with some losses.

Nothing personal, I just hate the distraction excuse.......'ooooh I can't make the tackle because of that Hardy tweet'.......'I was going to work out but Hardy was late to a meeting yesterday...'

It is like when players say they won't negotiate their contract during the year...like they can't do 2 things at once and like they won't think about their current salary or contract....that is what agents are for

1. Does he even want to play on our team, much less the NFL?
2. Do we have strong enough leadership to handle him or channel his energy to a positive playing mode? Got to be honest, watching that sideline video, I haven't seen that much passion in a DC defensive player since I don't know when. Kind of nice to see someone upset about the way the team was playing.
3. If he does want to play with DC, will he show up on time for practice/meetings and take a leadership role?
If the answer to the first question is yes, unfortunately I think the rest of the answers to the rest of the questions are no. We do not have the leadership to handle this type of player. Not sure if anyone does.
