Greg Hardy won his appeal with the NFL and had his suspension reduced from 10 to four games, and he may consider suing to have the suspension further reduced.
ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that Hardy’s agent Drew Rosenhaus is going to consult with the NFLPA about potentially suing to have the suspension reduced to two games:

Below was the explanation given by arbitrator Harold Henderson for why he reduced the suspension:
“After consideration of all the record evidence and arguments, I conclude that the Commissioner acted within his authority and properly exercised his discretion in finding that Hardy violated the NFL Personal Conduct Policy…I find that the conduct of Hardy clearly violates the letter and spirit of any version of the PCP since its inception, and of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws long before then.
