USA TODAY Sports reported on Thursday that Greg Hardy, a once promising defensive end, got a chance to workout with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team, according to the USA TODAY Sports, has no plans to sign him anytime soon. But why is he still even getting workouts? A quick rundown of Hardy’s last two years:
1. He was convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, a verdict only vacated on appeal when his former girlfriend refused to cooperate. Here are some pictures, for those who refuse to believe that he did this.
Jerry Jones, of course, thought this was great.
3. Jones thought he was less great when he finished the season with six sacks, including just two in the last eight games of the season.According to reports, he frustrated coach Jason Garrett with his consistent tardiness and considered a bad influence on the locker room.

5. After apologizing sort of on Twitter once, here’s what he toldESPN’s Adam Schefter about those pictures:

Hardy: “I will stop you there and say that I didn’t say that I didn’t do anything wrong. That situation occurred and that situation was handled but … saying that I did nothing wrong is a stretch but saying I am innocent is correct. Yes sir.”
