The 2019 Cowboys Off-Season Thread

jerry will always love his misfits

This is almost as stupid (not quite} as the Garrett fascination. Name one team besides this one that would do this.

 

[MrB]

That’s just perfect

The guy has been extended indefinitely for smoking dope. Let’s just extend his contract to 2020 even after we know he won’t make it to the field

You gotta love this front office

To me it’s pretty clear what they’re doing. They are wanting to keep him around until the next CBA is done because that’s when they will make weed legal in the NFL. He may have his mental issues but he does also have talent on the field. If you can control his rights for the vet min until the CBA is changed and he’s not costing you a roster spot, I don’t see what the harm is. Unlike Irving, Randy Gregory has shown that he will continue to work on his body while he’s out and can (and more importantly wants to) contribute when he returns.

Except this is Jerry we are talking about here, and we all know "foresight" isnt exactly his middle name.

It’s not just Jerry though. It’s Stephen and Will McClay too. Think about this, when the CBA is changed they will have a talented, still fairly young DE that owes his career to the team. They will have his rights for dirt cheap.

This idiot is struggling with weed when it’s illegal and he’s not able to smoke it.

And you think he will be functional when weed becomes legal and he can smoke it at will????

This idiot (like Irving) will be useless to society at that point

Kiss them good bye, along with a large groups of other players from all teams who will allow their weed smokin to interfere with their nfl career

You’re clearly not familiar with the weed culture in America. People smoke it at will right now even though it’s illegal. I guarantee you that Gregory smokes it at will right now too. It’s not like some magical flood gates are going to open once it’s made legal. It just means he won’t be getting suspended for doing something he’s already doing.

And there is a big difference between Gregory and Irving. Outside of breaking the weed rule Gregory actually wants to play. He always shows up for workouts, meetings, and rehab assignments. Every person to a man on team (player and front office) loves the guy. Irving is a narcissistic loon that doesn’t give a crap about football, much less his teammates. He made zero effort to come back from a high ankle sprain and basically quit on the team. I bet you’d be hard pressed to find 1 single person in the organization that actually likes Irving as a person.

Again, Gregory was given a vet min deal and will not cost the team a roster spot. Again, I don’t see what the big deal is to hold on to the rights to a young talented DE.

Gregory is a guy who put smoking weed ahead of his NFL career.

He knew the consequences of smoking weed and continued to do so. He is suspended indefinitely! He knew that was the outcome if he continued to smoke weed after he was reinstated

He’s an idiot, plain and simple!

Plus he has never lived up to his potential.

He has been a wasted 2nd round pick. We could have spent that 2nd round pick on a player who would have been available and be able to contribute to the team during the same time period that we have wasted on Gregory

Well if you look at the guys that were drafted after him Frank Clark is the only one they really should have drafted instead. Other than that Gregory is still a better player than any of those guys drafted in the 2nd round after Gregory was taken.

He may be a better player, but how much is his talent helping us right now?

He is suspended indefinitely

He has been suspended every year since we drafted him.

His talent is a moot point if he can’t make it on the field.

He had 1 career sack in his first 3 seasons

That is a complete bust and waste of a second round pick

He had 6 sacks last season.

Again, vet min and isn’t costing a roster spot. When weed is made legal in the NFL then the suspensions won’t be an issue.

 

[nickb]

lol ok

This makes no fucken sense
At what point do you stop chasing the potential and accept the situation
We extend this clown yet can't seem to get a deal done with Tank...nice focus by our FO

plus he doesnt get paid while suspended right? If true, then no effect on the roster space or salary cap so why not tie him up?

Exactly!

And that makes 7 for his career total in 4 years

He’s a bust

He may be an affordable cheap bust

But he’s still a bust

 

[Scot]

Because he’s an idiot

Even with a career suspension on the line if he smoked pot again.....

He still chose to smoke pot again knowing it would be a permanent suspension. A full year suspension that he already served did not keep him from smoking pot. And the threat of loosing his entire NFL career did not stop him from smoking

He has had 12 plus chances and yet he still fucks up knowing it will cost him his career


He is too stupid to be on the team and not worth the time and effort

The team has been more than fair and gone well beyond what any other team has done for their own players in a similar situation

We should have moved on from him after he was suspended for a full year.

 

[yimyammer]

meh, bring him on, it'll enhance the joke of a freak show jeri runs, nothing is ever gonna overcome the jackass in charge anyway

Technically he’s only played 3 seasons not 4. And one could look at it as he showed vast improvement this year (which he did). Other than some bad PR from the “holier than thou” people like yourself there is literally no downside to extending Randy Gregory for the vet min.

Lmao

No shit!
The only reason he played 3 years instead of 4 is because he was suspended for a full year

He has played in 28 out of a total 66 possible games

He has played in less than half of the total games he “should have” been available for

A players best ability is his availability

He has missed games due to both injury and multiple suspensions. He is no longer available because he is indefinitely suspended from the NFL

If he is not available on game day then he is useless to the team

We have had enough losers on the team for far too long. It’s time to move on from the bad seeds and idiot players

We have held this manchilds hand long enough. He is too stupid to take advantage of the help the team has offered him. He has chosen to smoke pot over his NFL career. He knew the consequences if he smoked again.

Millions of kids would kill/die for the opportunity he has been afforded. He chose to throw that opportunity away. Repeatedly!

I have zero sympathy for him at this point!
