Floodgates open? Greg Hardy considering appeal after Tom Brady ruling.
In vacating Brady's suspension, Judge Richard M. Berman saw through the NFL trampling on the rights of its players. The ruling mocked the supposed independence of Ted Wells' report. The second page of the ruling calls it the "Pash/Wells investigation." Jeff Pash is the NFL's general counsel. The NFL wanted its case to be heard in New York, did what amounted to an end-around to get the case in New York, and still lost. That's how badly they flubbed this whole ordeal. Even in what they sought out as a friendly venue, they couldn't win.
Now the players might have a blueprint to fight back. Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy is reportedly considering it.
Hardy has a four-game suspension for a domestic violence incident in 2014, and ESPN's Ed Werder reported that Hardy will discuss with the union if he will appeal that suspension on the heels of the Brady decision.

Different situation on so many levels

Yea I understand Brady basically got off on a technicality but there's no way Hardy gets his suspension dropped

But it still governed by the same CBA

The NFL’s personal conduct policy was altered before the start of last season to call for a six-game suspension on charges of domestic abuse while giving the commissioner a certain amount of latitude. When Hardy was charged with his episode, the policy called for a two-game suspension.
This is the NFLPA’s point of contention in Hardy’s case. The union’s argument is that Hardy’s punishment should reflect what was in place at the time he was charged, which is two games. It will argue four games is a random determination and some sort of compromise between that number (two) and the current six-game mandate.
He would likely get it reduced because of the same "technicality" aka. due process.

That' s why I think he will at least try-
Hardy's timeline-
-he was facing two games without pay
-missed 15 games with pay (same # as AP)
-legal case toss out
-The NFL’s personal conduct policy was altered before the start of last season to call for a six-game suspension
-got ten games without pay (appealed)
-got four games without pay
Unlike Peterson who was plead out to a crime. Hardy case was dropped. Why is Hardy missing 4 additional games?

He had a pretty strong case before all this. That's why they dropped his suspension from 10 to 4
He would need an injuction in the next 7 days to be able to play
He should've done this forever ago, I'm not sure what he was afraid of. Worst case senerio is he just get the suspension reaffirmed

Was told to wait for the Brady decision. Lawyers aren't cheap, wait and see what happens with Brady.
