CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson hopes former teammate Greg Hardy gets another chance in the NFL.
Hardy, 27, remains a free agent after completing a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, which followed a five-year stint with the Panthers.
Carolina opted not to pursue Hardy in free agency last offseason after the defensive end missed all but one game in 2014 while facing domestic violence charges.
"He's a good guy," Johnson told ESPN.com this week. "He just makes bad decisions. I just hope he gets out there and finds a place so he can really prove his talent and show what he's really all about instead of giving interviews to people about the situation.
