Dallas Cowboys snap up defensive end Greg Hardy

Pro Bowl star Greg Hardy has agreed to join the Dallas Cowboys, putting an end to speculation over his future.

The defensive end missed most of the 2014 season after he was charged with domestic violence.

The charges were dropped last month, but he still remains on the Commissioner's exempt list, as the NFL conducts its own investigation into whether he violated the league's personal conduct code.

Hardy left the Carolina Panthers at the end of last season, and reportedly spoke to the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before signing for the Cowboys.

The 26-year-old has agreed terms on a one-year deal, that is worth around £8.7m.

Hardy was a Pro Bowl pick in 2013.
