Greg Hardy seems to be struggling to find a next stop on his redemption tour, and he can apparently cross Canada off the list.
According to CBC News, Saskatchewan Roughriders General Manager/coach Chris Jones said there was some suggestion of bringing Hardy in during the spring, but the CFL ruled against it.
“Greg Hardy inquired to us back during camp and it was about a six-hour discussion,” Jones said. “The league made their ruling on it and we moved on. . . .
“He was interested in coming up. I inquired with the league. The league made their ruling, and you can talk to [CFL commissioner] Jeffrey Orridge and those guys if you need to have more info on it.”
A CFL spokesman said the league did have discussions with the Roughriders, but that the call was made by the team.
“The decision whether to pursue a player rests with the organization,” the league said. “And in this case, while the league did discuss the matter with the Riders, it was ultimately the organization’s decision to not place Hardy on the Riders’ negotiation list in May.”
