NFLPA Appeals Greg Hardy Suspension

Apr 27, 2015 1:49 PM

The NFLPA has appealed the 10-game suspension of Greg Hardy.

Hardy received a suspension for domestic violence incident involving his former fiance.

The union is expected to claim that Roger Goodell applied the discipline retroactively under the new personal conduct policy, which was not enacted until December - seven months after Hardy was arrested on domestic violence charges.

Goodell, however, has claimed that the suspension is identical to what it would have been under the old policy for conduct detrimental to the league.

Hardy signed this offseason with the Dallas Cowboys.

Cardinals, Falcons, Cowboys, Jags, Chargers, Bucs In Mix For Peterson

Apr 22, 2015 12:45 PM

The Minnesota Vikings want a resolution to the Adrian Peterson situation during draft week.

"If he's not traded next week, they're going to keep him," the source said.

The Vikings could entice a team to trade for Peterson once Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley are drafted.

According to a source, the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the six teams that could deal for Peterson.

Peterson was reinstated last week from an NFL suspension for a child-abuse incident.

Adrian Peterson Unlikely To Receive Additional Suspension

Apr 9, 2015 1:30 AM

Adrian Peterson is "highly unlikely" to face further suspension by the NFL when he comes off the Commissioner's Exempt List.

Peterson reportedly wanted to "weigh in on why he believes he should not be suspended, why he should not face additional penalty when he comes off this list."

Peterson agreed to a plea deal in November.

"Peterson wants to have a completely clean slate by the draft," Rapoport said. "His point: The Minnesota Vikings have held strong in saying they do not plan on trading Adrian Peterson. They believe he will play for them in 2015. In fact, they want him to play for either them or no one else.

"However, if they are to be tempted with a trade," Rapoport said, "it is going to come at the time of the draft and Peterson wants to make sure there are no obstacles to him getting on the field in 2015, just in case another team decides to come calling -- maybe like the Cardinals, maybe like the Cowboys."

Cowboys Confident In Ability To Maximize Darren McFadden

Apr 6, 2015 1:30 PM

The Dallas Cowboys have one of the NFL's best offensive lines and they're confident they can maximize the talent of Darren McFadden.

McFadden averaged less than 3.4 yards per carry for the Oakland Raiders over the past three seasons.

“We liked him a lot coming out of college,’’ Jason Garrett said. “He came out in ’08. That was the same year we drafted Felix Jones. We spent a lot of time with him and on him. I think he was the fourth player taken in that draft. There was a lot to like about him.

“We are confident in the environment we can create for our guys to bring the best out in him.’’

McFadden played in 16 games for the first time in his career last season. He missed 19 games over the previous three seasons and has played in more than 13 games in a season only once in his career.

“He is a big explosive back,’’ Garrett said. “He is quick. He is fast. He is physical. He can run inside. He can hit the home run.  He can catch the ball. He can protect.

“Now injuries have been an issue for him. We don’t think significant injuries, more the soft tissue type injuries. Hopefully we can create the right environment for him to be healthy and take advantage of those opportunities.’’

Cowboys Sign Efe Obada From London Warriors

Apr 2, 2015 1:49 PM

The Dallas Cowboys have signed British player Efe Obada to a contract after the defensive end appeared in just five games in 2014 for the London Warriors of the British American Football Association National Leagues (BAFANL).

Obada was scoped out by Warriors defensive coordinator Aden Durde, who served as an intern assistant with the Cowboys last summer.

Obada is working on becoming a pass rusher or tight end.

Obada's current job as a warehouse store man outside of London, a role he'd openly ditch for a chance to play in the NFL.

"This could be it -- I can change my life," Obada said. "This is unreal -- this doesn't happen to people like me. I've never even been outside of London since I arrived in the UK."

NFL Reaches Deal With D.A. To Examine Photos From Greg Hardy's Trial

Apr 1, 2015 1:51 PM

The NFL has reached a deal with the Mecklenburg County (N.C.) District Attorney’s office to look at seven photos from Greg Hardy’s bench trial last summer. 

Hardy was found guilty in that trial, but appealed to have a jury trial and then had the charges dismissed when accuser Nicole Holder failed to appear in court.

Hardy signed with the Dallas Cowboys this offseason and awaits a suspension from the NFL.

Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that the photos are of Holder’s injuries and were taken by “a medical advocate.” They will only be seen by the NFL, NFLPA and any experts involved in the investigation.
