Cowboys | Sign Anthony Hargrove Thu May 16, 02:48 PM
The Dallas Cowboys signed DE Anthony Hargrove (Saints) Thursday, May 16. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Hargrove was with the Packers last year (released in August) and had to sit out eight games due to the Saints 'bountygate' scandal. He is position versatile and able to line up inside at DT or outside at DE. Hargrove is no lock to make the roster but would give them solid veteran depth if he makes the team. |

'It wasn't me. That's right. The NFL got their evidence all wrong,' Hargrove said. 'In their rush to convict me, they made a very serious error.' The league showed reporters a clip from the 2010 NFC Championship Game in which Hargrove purportedly made the 'money' comment about injuring then-Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre. Hargrove insisted it was someone else uttering those words, though he said he didn't know who.

In addition to Vilma, DE Will Smith was suspended four games, Green Bay Packers DT Anthony Hargrove was suspended eight games and Cleveland Browns LB Scott Fujita three games.
| Footballguys view: The NFL's investigation came to the conclusion that Vilma was a ring leader of the bounty program alongside former Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams. Vilma's suspension will start immediately while the other players suspended will be able to participate in Offseason Training Activities.
