Hardy signed a one-year deal this offseason that is likely to earn him a total of $13.1 million. The bulk of the contract is in bonuses, which could allow Dallas to defer some of the cap hit to 2016.

The team also agreed to a one-year deal with linebacker Rolando McClain, with a base value of $3 million, and another $1 million in play-time incentives.
