This is all about due diligence folks. And there's nothing wrong with that. Remember last year Caldwell tried to sign Aldon Smith too. When the talent outweighs the distractions, Caldwell doesn't seem afraid to take the risks, and from what I gather that is what this meeting was all about. They wanted to see if his talent was worth taking on the headache.

Quote: Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, the Jaguars wanted to learn more about Hardy so that they’ll know more about him if at some point down the road they need him.


That could be in a week. That could be in a month. That could be late in the regular season or in the postseason.


If they’d been blown away by Hardy, they likely would have signed him now. As it stands, they were doing their due diligence regarding who he is as a player and his issues in Carolina and Dallas.


The Jaguars first considered the possibility of looking at Hardy in March, but they deliberately waited to see how he conducted himself during his search for work.
