Jags GM: ‘No imminent plans’ to sign DE Hardy

11:38 AM ET

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell viewed bringing in Greg Hardy for a workout last week as a fact-finding mission rather than an attempt to bolster their pass rush.

Caldwell said Monday that the Jaguars didn’t intend to sign Hardy after his two-day workout last Wednesday and Thursday but wanted to see him on the field and meet with him so they would have enough information about the free-agent defensive end should they decide to pursue him in the future.

“It was really to find out more about him so we don’t have any questions going into the season,” Caldwell said. “There’s no what-ifs for us right now. There could have been a what-if Week 3, Week 4 or into the preseason, but we kind of have our questions answered as to our game plan for him.

“… It was an opportunity for us — here’s a guy that was a franchise defensive end two years ago sitting out on the street — to bring him in, work him out and try to find out the facts where he’s at, the truth behind everything that surrounds him and just do our homework.”
