Dallas Cowboys Roster Rumors: Team Reportedly Won't Re-Sign Greg Hardy
Even a highly talented star is not spared when it comes to the concept of discipline in professional sports. There have been countless cases of million-dollar earning athletes who gained fame and money by being the best in their respective discipline, but end up losing everything just because they're too careless to value what they already have.
Dallas Cowboys star defensive end is another perfect example.
But with all the off-field issues involving the 27-year-old, including that of domestic violence and sexist views, the Cowboys are looking like bent on letting him go because of another reason — they've had enough of his partying. That simple stubbornness may cause his days in Dallas to end prematurely.

According to Bleacher Report, the Cowboys aren't expected to re-sign him as a free agent. The report revealed that the front office, led by owner Jerry Jones, felt he just partied too much during the course of the regular season, causing him to be out of shape.
After a four-game suspension stemming from a domestic violence issue involving his girlfriend during his time with the Carolina Panthers, he played in 12 games for the Cowboys, producing six sacks. But his troubles didn't end after the suspension. Shortly after, he made sexist comments about Gisele Bundchen, the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. After that, his name was involved in an alleged altercation with his own teammates, including Dez Bryant and Devin Street.
There are claims that Hardy was simply too much of a distraction for the team and his presence created hostility with teammates. According to the same report, he had several altercations and shouting matches with his teammates in the sidelines during actual games.
But if the Cowboys are trying to get rid of someone who they believe partied too much and was acting unprofessionally, then they shouldn't even contemplate on signing another troubled star in Johnny Manziel.
