The base salary of $750,000 is low for a player of Hardy's caliber, while the games played bonuses are obviously there to protect the Cowboys in case Hardy is suspended under the personal conduct policy. If Hardy receives the six-game suspension that has been rumored and he's active for the remaining 10 games, he'd earn $5,781,250 in incentives. Added to the $750,000 base and $1.3 million roster bonus, his salary would reach $7,842,580, which would place him somewhere between 12th and 14th
among defensive ends in terms of 2015 cap hits.
Based on all those numbers,
Spotrac has Hardy counting for approximately $2.635 million against Dallas' cap in 2015 at this moment,
leaving the Cowboys with $2.435 million remaining in cap space. That's the second-lowest number in the league behind only the
Saints. They can create more by restructuring Tony Romo's contract that currently sports a league-high $27.773 million cap hit, or mandating that Brandon Carr take a pay cut and designating him a post-June 1 cut if he refuses.
