Greg Hardy, who played for the Cowboys in 2015, was arrested in Texas and charged with assaulting a family member, a charge that follows his previous legal issues. Adam 'Pacman' Jones, a former Cowboys cornerback arrested near Cincinnati, faced charges including alcohol intoxication in a public place, disorderly conduct, and assault of a police officer, continuing a pattern of repeated legal troubles.
