Immediately after news emerged of the Greg Hardy suspension emerged, PFT reported that Hardy will appeal the 10-game banishment. The NFLPA has another plan in mind, too.
According to Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the union is considering filing a lawsuit on Hardy’s behalf. Given the preliminary success of the lawsuit filed last year by Vikings running back Adrian Peterson after his suspension, it’s no surprise.
Peterson’s victory arose from the league’s effort to apply the new personal conduct policy to behavior that occurred before the rule changed.
