UPDATE: DE Greg Hardy not being added to Riders negotiation list
A controversial NFL star, targeted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the off season, will not be negotiating with the team.
The Riders have decided not to add 27-year-old Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy to their negotiation list.
On Tuesday, head coach Chris Jones said Hardy initiated the conversation, but the league blocked the team from adding him to their negotiation list.
“It was a six hour discussion, he was interested in coming up. I inquired with the league, the league made their ruling, and you can talk to Jeffrey Orridge (CFL Commissioner) and those guys if you need to have more info on it.”
