Off PDI site...
SmackDown wrestler Jeff Hardy has handed in his notice to World Wrestling Entertainment. He has three months left on his contract and is refusing to sign an extension at the current time. They've offered him several separate deals and he's turned them all down as of this point.
It's being said that he is very burned out and looking to do some other things outside of wrestling, so there is a very good possibility that he won't be renewing his contract when it comes due this summer. This could explain his losses to his brother in recent weeks.
More details on this story as it develops.

hmmm... if it's true i'll be upset. He's grown on me in the past few months.

WHo knows....maybe he failed the wellness policy again and they told him to leave.

that could be true. He's done well since his 2nd suspension he's put on some great matches.
-
With that style of working, I'm surprised he didn't hang it up a lot sooner.
-
It would be a shame for him to leave, but if that's what he wants to do then fair enough. I think he'd always come back though at some point.

Jeff Hardy posted the following on his Facebook page:
"Jeffrey Itchweed Nero Hardy says that new contract signing are RUMORS, which means it may not be true, I might sign a new contract soon but the contract doesn't expire till July, so I'll play it day-by-day."

Recent Jeff Hardy news as per PDI:
"As noted yesterday here on the website, WWE is currently trying to sign Jeff Hardy to a new WWE contract. Jeff's current contract is set to expire in the next 2-4 months.
Hardy has not been receptive to the long-term deals that the company has offered him, and in a rare move, WWE offered Hardy a one-year deal with the hopes of signing him to that, and then working on a longer-term contract.
It is due to the current contract situation that the feud with Matt Hardy has been booked the way it has, with Matt winning. It is also why Matt was moved to Raw.
The feeling is that Jeff isn't looking to go to another company, but more that he just wants to live his life on his own terms. TNA sources have claimed to have no contact with Hardy."

Here's the recent update from PWI:
We've been covering the story about Jeff Hardy's WWE contract status and the possibility of Jeff taking time off when it expires this summer. Jeff has turned down several of WWE's attempts to sign him to a new contract and the former WWE champion is said to be considering extended time away from the ring.
The latest is that Jeff has been giving the impression to friends that he will in fact re-sign with WWE before his contract expires this summer. While he is burned out with the hectic travel schedule, his willingness to walk away from WWE has given him negotiating leverage and he will likely ask for a reduced schedule, similar to the Undertaker's deal.
In related Hardy news, the former WWE Champion has had talks with MTV regarding a reality television series. Matt and Jeff currently produce the online video show "The Hardy Show" and the MTV series would likely tie into that.

If jeff really wanted to he could easily to to TNA or Japan and make just as much money on a less work rate.

Absolutely...
Especially Japan.

He's been to TNA, I think he burned that bridge.

I don't think so. I don't recall him leaving with any issues in TNA. I think he would do amazing in Japan. Especially with his light agile high flying moves and that new face painted look he has.
-
Do "Westerners" still command a decent price in the Japan promotions compared with what they made in Inoki's and Baba's companies 20 some years ago.
Of course, I'm referring to the larger promotions.

I thought he had some "no show" issues towards the end of his TNA run?
