Hardy and Manziel are both guys about whom I fear someday seeing a story that they put a gun to their head.

Hope they can both get their lives straightened out, but I think the NFL glory they each envisioned is a pipe dream now.

Yeah I don't know about the suicide thing but Hardy definitely has self destructive qualities. In the article it states his high school coach is now the coach there. Seems like a "going back home" to find himself kind of a deal. Hope the best for him because even though he did a monstrous thing, he is still a human being. And our leaders like TD and Olsen showed when we played them that they still care about him. Which shows that one incident however bad it was isn't the full story on Hardys character.

No, but you definitely can't bring him back here.

Both of these are cases where I think they had dreams of being on top of the world and those dreams have come crashing down.  Rebuilding your life when something like that happens isn't easy, and yes both are self-destructive personalities.

Junior Galette signed, again, with the Redskins.  He's on video going Indiana Jones on a woman after numerous boneheaded decisions in his past.  I simply don't follow the Manziel comparison for many reasons.  John Clayton has stated no doubt Hardy will be on a roster this year.

That's the Redskins.  Not us.

We'll see whether he makes it to another roster, but there's zero reason to believe Hardy will ever be a Panther again.

Likewise, rumors the Broncs may trade Ryan Clady if they land Russell Okung.

Courtney Upshaw is still available. Think we would be interested in bringing him in?

[davos]

Bruton signed with the Skins. 

Safety wise, Quintin Demps, Dashon Goldson are still available.  *Goldson is visiting Dallas.

One to keep an eye on that could be a DG special: Robert Blanton SS...he is a special teams ace and played some good snaps with Minnesota. He's from Matthews.
