Panthers DE Hardy meets NFL officials

Published

on

Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy met with NFL officials in New York on Wednesday to lobby for his removal from the commissioner’s exempt list.

Hardy submitted documents from his domestic-assault case and left the meeting with no resolution, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

Scheduled to be a free agent on March 10, Hardy is seeking immediate reinstatement.

Hardy has been on the exempt list since last September due to a domestic-abuse case, and the league is still investigating whether he violated the personal-conduct policy.

Hardy was convicted last summer of assaulting and threatening to kill his former girlfriend. He appealed the ruling and was assigned for a jury trial that was to start Feb. 9 in Charlotte, N.C. But the case was dismissed because his accuser could not be found to testify.

The league had petitioned the court to see the case file. In the meantime, the NFL had said Hardy’s status with the league “remains unchanged until we fully review the matter.”

Hardy played only one game last season but received $13.1 million from Carolina after being designated with the franchise tag in February. He was placed on the inactive roster in Week 2 and then put on the exempt list before Week 3.
