Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie has revealed that the club have no plans to sign former Carolina Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy.

The 26-year-old missed the majority of the 2014 season after facing charges of domestic violence, which were dropped earlier this year.

Hardy still remains an inactive player on the commissioner's exempt list, and could face a suspension for the 2015 season if he agrees a deal with a new team after being linked with the Raiders.

McKenzie told reporters: "At this point we don't have any intentions of doing anything with him. His situation is a delicate one. He has something ongoing with the league also. Anything we do is about information gathering, like we do with all the players."

Hardy has recorded 204 tackles and 34 sacks in his five-year NFL career.
