Report: NFLPA 'leaning toward' filing appeal on behalf of Greg Hardy
Despite having his suspension reduced to four games, Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy may not be done taking action against the NFL.
The NFLPA is currently "leaning toward" filing an appeal of Hardy's suspension, which was initially set at 10 games, and has 90 days to make a decision, according to Jim Trotter of ESPN.
Hardy was convicted in July 2014 on charges of misdemeanor assault and communicating threats stemming from an altercation with his former girlfriend. He appealed the decision and had both charges dismissed Feb. 9 after prosecutors said they were unable to locate his accuser to testify.
Harold Henderson, who handled the initial appeal, determined that while Hardy's conduct was indefensible, the league's discipline was excessive.
