The Dallas Cowboys and defensive end Greg Hardy agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday after two days of negotiations.

The deal for the former Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl player carries a salary of $750,000, but he could earn $13.1 million, according to Pro Football Talk and other outlets. Hardy can earn a workout bonus of $1.3 million, $9.25 million in per-game roster bonuses and $1.8 million in incentives based on sacks.

Hardy, who was a 2013 Pro Bowl selection after leading the Panthers with 15 sacks, remains on the commissioner’s exempt list and could be facing an NFL suspension of as many as six games for an alleged domestic assault last year.

Hardy, 26, was convicted last summer, but he appealed the ruling and a jury trial set for Feb. 9 never took place because the alleged victim did not appear to testify. The case was dismissed.

Hardy played only one game last season. He was placed on the inactive roster in Week 2 and then put on the commissioner’s exempt list, where he remains. He cannot play until he is removed from the list.

The NFL’s decision could be delayed as the league sues to get the full court file from Hardy’s trial. The league filed a lawsuit Wednesday in Charlotte against the North Carolina attorney general and the Mecklenburg County district attorney, seeking access to trial evidence.

—The Baltimore Ravens brought back two defensive ends and released another troubled running back Wednesday.

Chris Canty and Lawrence Guy will return on two-year deals. Canty’s is worth $4.65 million and carries a $1.5 million signing bonus, according to the Baltimore Sun.

The Ravens released running back Bernard Pierce after he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence Wednesday morning.

Pierce is the second running back to run afoul of the law and be released by the Ravens in the past year. Ray Rice was released in September after video emerged of him punching his fiancee. He is on probation for that offense.

Pierce also is the third Ravens player to be cut in the wake of legal issues this offseason. Cornerback Victor Hampton was released earlier this month after he was arrested on charges of driving under the influence. Defensive tackle Terrence Cody was cut the day he was indicted for animal cruelty.

—The Miami Dolphins are expected to let transition tight end Charles Clay move on after he signed a huge offer sheet with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday.

The offer reportedly is worth $38 million over five years, with more than $20 million guaranteed. Clay would make $24.5 million over the first two seasons.

The Dolphins had placed their transition tag on Clay, which allows them five days to match or decline the offer, but it seems unlikely. The Dolphins reportedly made a maximum offer of four years and $28 million.

The Dolphins signed former Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron to a two-year, $15 million contract last week, possibly in anticipation of losing Clay.

—The NFL competition committee will consider 23 rule proposals, including 18 submitted by teams, at the league meetings that begin Sunday in Phoenix.

Challenges and replay reviews are the focus of most of those proposals, according to the list released by the committee on Wednesday.

The committee does not plan to change the rule governing a reception, but it will look at clarifying the language.

The Indianapolis Colts have perhaps the wildest suggestion: a 50-yard PAT try for an additional point after a successful two-point conversion, thus creating the possibility of a nine-point touchdown. They want to try it out in the preseason.

—The New York Giants and defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis agreed to a one-year contract on Wednesday.

A third-round draft pick of the New York Jets in 2011, the 6-foot-4, 346-pound tackle had been a backup for the Jets over the past four seasons.

Last year, he finished with 12 tackles and a sack in 14 games while helping the Jets rank fifth against the run at 93.1 yards per game.

He will be expected to help the Giants improve their run 30th-ranked run defense.

—The Detroit Lions reportedly re-signed veteran cornerback Rashean Mathis.

The 34-year-old received a two-year deal worth $3.5 million, a source told Pro Football Talk.

After spending his first 10 NFL seasons in Jacksonville, Mathis has played for the Lions the past two. Last year, he started every game and recorded 51 tackles, nine pass breakups and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown.

In his 12-year career, Mathis has 31 interceptions and 127 passes defensed.

—The St. Louis Rams signed guard Garrett Reynolds.

The deal is worth $2.2 million over two years, according to Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports, and could be worth as much as $4.2 million.

Reynolds, 27, spent his first five years in Atlanta after the Falcons drafted him in the fifth round in 2009.

The Falcons cut him in February 2014 and he signed with the Detroit Lions in July and played in 10 games last season.

—The Atlanta Falcons re-signed defensive end Kroy Biermann.

Biermann, 29, started 15 games last season and set a career high with 80 tackles to go along with 4.5 sacks and three passes defensed. It was a rebound season for Biermann, who missed the final 14 games in 2013 due to an Achilles injury.

—The Buffalo Bills announced the signing of wide receiver Percy Harvin.

The team did not disclose terms of the deal, but it was reported last week as a one-year contract worth $6 million.

The Bills will be Harvin’s fourth team in three years after the New York Jets released him rather than pay his $10.5 million salary for 2015.

Harvin, 26, was a first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings but was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2013 and then from the Seahawks to the Jets last October.

—The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have signed running back Reggie Bush to a one-year contract.

Bush, 30, will join Carlos Hyde and Kendall Hunter in trying to replace Frank Gore, who left the 49ers for Indianapolis.

Bush has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons in the last four years, but injuries limited him to 297 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games for Detroit last season. The Lions released him on Feb. 25.

—The New England Patriots confirmed that they re-signed defensive lineman Alan Branch and also signed cornerbacks Bradley Fletcher and Robert McClain.

According to earlier reports, Branch received a two-year contract worth a maximum $6.6 million. McClain signed a reported one-year, $1.24 million deal that includes up to $760,000 in incentives for playing time. ESPN reported that Fletcher’s one-year deal is for a maximum $2.5 million.

—The Chicago Bears signed long snapper Thomas Gafford to a one-year contract.

The Bears had been the only team in the NFL without a long snapper on their roster.

Since making his NFL regular-season debut on Nov. 2, 2008, Gafford has appeared in 105 straight games as the long snapper of the Kansas Chiefs.

—Defensive tackle Devon Still’s 4-year-old daughter, Leah, might be free of cancer.

Leah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer last June — and her fight inspired millions across the nation.

Still told the Cincinnati Bengals’ website that they celebrated the wonderful news by going out to dinner to Leah’s favorite restaurant, Cheesecake Factory.

“It just feels so good to great news after nine months of only hearing bad news,” Still said Tuesday night. “Hopefully when they get the rest of the results Thursday it will be the same thing. It’s just a great feeling.”

The Bengals said last month they were open to re-signing Still to a one-year deal. On Tuesday night, he said he is preparing to sign and continue his career in Cincinnati.
