Report: Greg Hardy considering appealing 4-game suspension following Brady ruling

The nullification of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension has reportedly prompted Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy to consider appealing his own suspension.

Hardy will consult with the NFLPA about taking the NFL to court to seek a further reduction of his four-game suspension, a source told ESPN's Todd Archer.

The NFL initially suspended Hardy 10 games for what it deemed to be multiple violations of the league's personal conduct policy stemming from an altercation with his former girlfriend. Hardy was convicted on charges of misdemeanor assault and communicating threats, but the charges were later dismissed after prosecutors said they were unable to locate his accuser to testify.
