Well maybe there is a reason even then that Garrett wanted nothing to do with the guy and we are seeing that now both from him and the rest of the league.
Its easy to say Garrett mismanaged him but frankly the evidence looks mostly like no one wants to handle him except -- shocker -- Jerry Jones. Wouldn't be the first time that was the case.
I was all for brining Hardy aboard but given the rumors about him being a locker room problem, I'm not gonna fault the coach, or stupidly celebrate that Hardy may have called him a pussy. Bill Parcells shipped out plenty of headaches instead of managing them, and remember that he wanted no part of Terrell Owens either.
It was a shot at a home run signing that didn't work out because of the player and the player only. If he had buttons that could be pressed into being a functional human being, he probably would have found a spot by now. Maybe a guy like Belichick could rehab him but the number of coaches who could do so can be counted on probably three fingers.
