The Cowboys should have never signed Greg Hardy last year in the first place and perhaps Jerry Jones realized that now, a year later. Yesterday Jones confirmed that Dallas will not be bringing back Hardy for the 2016 and have no interest in really talking about it any further.

The Cowboys were willing to give Hardy a chance but never received the type of production they expected. That is likely the true reason they aren’t bringing him back because we all know Jerry Jones is a sketchy guy at times and even with Hardy’s off the field troubles, if he would’ve been more productive you can bet he would still be there.
He finished the year with six sacks, but he had a full sack in just one of his final eight games. He was late to meetings and practices, which drew the ire of coaches and teammates, but it never led to a lack of playing time.
Because the Cowboys did not address pass-rusher with one of their top three picks and did not make a big-time free-agent investment, Jones was asked if Hardy being a Cowboy in 2016 was off the table.
His answer was simple: “Yes.”
This is the best move the team has made in years. Hardy should not be playing football anywhere.
