That said, if our pass rush doesn't improve in the next few weeks, I think there's a very real possibility Hardy will be signed. Dave didn't have him come and work out with us for a couple days just for kicks. They have a real interest in him as a football player, but would prefer our young guys step up to the point where we don't have to sign someone with his baggage. If that doesn't happen, I fully expect that Dave will make a move to improve the pass rush and signing Hardy seems like the most realistic option.
