Greg Hardy was rumored to be a potential replacement for Junior Galette, but the Redskins are reportedly not considering the veteran pass rusher.
Fantasy Impact
It remains to be seen if Hardy will latch on with another team. Despite his unquestionable talent, the NFL in general has shown little interest due to Hardy's off-the-field issues. He's also been spotted on several occasions having issues on the field with teammates.

Fantasy Impact
Greg Hardy visited with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday but there is not an indication that they will sign the troubled pass rusher. The Jaguars retooled their defense this offseason by adding players that include Prince Amukamara, Myles Jack, Jalen Ramsey and Malik Jackson, among others and Hardy's addition will only make their pass rush even more deadly if they all can gel by the start of the season. Jacksonville's D/ST could be a sleeper in 2016 that can finish in the top 10 in fantasy points scored at their position.

A situation like this could change the organization's mind and perhaps a return to Dallas could be in line for Hardy.
