PHOENIX (AP) – Dallas coach Jason Garrett says Greg Hardy must ”do the right things from the beginning” to be part of the Cowboys.
Speaking when NFC coaches were available to reporters at the NFL owners meetings, Garrett said the team talked to people going all the way back to Hardy’s high school days in determining whether to sign him.
The talented but troubled defensive end was convicted in North Carolina last July of assaulting a female and communicating harassment, but the case was dismissed after Hardy reached a settlement with the victim.
Hardy signed a one-year, $13 million free agent contract with the Cowboys, with only $1 million guaranteed. The rest of the money is tied to incentives.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said at his news conference Wednesday that the league continues to review Hardy’s case to determine if discipline is warranted.
