On Wednesday, the NFL suspended Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy 10 games. On Friday, the NFLPA filed a formal appeal of the suspension.
Per a league source, the appeal officially was filed Friday night. It’s believed that the appeal will focus on the application of the new Personal Conduct Policy standards and processes retroactively to conduct that occurred before the NFL dramatically altered its approach to domestic violence cases.
The league, learning from a lawsuit filed by Adrian Peterson that resulted in a ruling that the new standard can’t apply retroactively, claims that the suspension was imposed under the former policy.
