STATEMENT RELEASED ON BEHALF OF GREG HARDY

While I am terribly disappointed to miss the first four games of this season, I am absolutely determined that my issue is not going to be a distraction for the Cowboys.

I have enormous affection and respect for everyone here, and having seen the impact a court case can have on an NFL organization, I believe it is in the team’s best interest for me to announce that I will not pursue any further litigation.

Everything I do from this point on will be designed to bring glory and pride to my family, their family and this team.

-- Greg Hardy
