David Irving suspended 4 games

[ccb04]

At this point...I'd consider cutting ties asap. A tumultuous offseason has gone from bad to worse. Can't recall a player having a worse start to a contract year. Feel bad that his situation involves custody issues...but as things stand, it would be hard to fathom that he'd be part of the future.

RKG.

Not ever player is the RKG and they will sooner or later find themselves off the team. The locker has several players who are the RKG who put in the extra work, who dedicate themselves to the team. No one ever claimed every player is a RKG

What a waste of talent.

Rolondo McClain redux.

I've had it with Irving and his BS! There is a reason why we gave him a second round tender and no team bit at the cheese. Smart move by FO and smart move by 31 teams to sit back. 2018 plays out and he's gonzo in my books. More opportunities for Ward IMO

Ward the starting 3T day 1

Cowboys know this was coming...hence the trade and the draft of de 4th round

So I guess I'm learning something new today. Someone that knows let me know if I am right or wrong. Irving has been suspended for Peds before, today he was suspended for substance abuse. Which would be a drug that's not related to steroids/peds? So a previous PED suspension cannot count towards making your first substance abuse suspension longer? Because both suspensions are only 4 games. I would have thought with this being his 2nd suspension it would make it longer.

Also with him getting suspended for substance abuse means this is the 3rd time he has failed a test since the first two you get put into the NFL substance abuse policy and take classes for it while those 1st two fails are never made public... I think. Someone prove me wrong or right because I'm not 100% sure on any of this.

Some failed test before suspension slips out to the public. I remember Gregory’s slipped out that he was getting 4 game checks taken. I think that’s your second failed one.

A player said in a interview that for every player you hear about that fails there are at least 5 more you didn’t hear about that’s in the beginning stages of the program.

And we tried to prepare for this last year by drafting Joey Ivie and Jordan Carrell.

This team is snakebit.

I had compassion for him with this custody battle but this is just dumb

That's a pretty low blow shot at Jason Witten but you do have a point.

 

[northerncowboynation]

Yeah, lets place the blame on others than the player himself....

I'm hoping that "Goodell/Mara" comment was sarcasm

 

[408Cowboy]

I can relate to the custody battle and the problems that causes with children so I was cool with him missing time to take care of that. That said this is inexcusable.

 

[Teague31]

He will be dead or in prison within 3 years. Total and complete dumpster fire. And the team knows it. Yet brought him back and relied on him. What a joke

 

[Silver Surfer]

Heard he was having "family problems". Didn't know he was married to Mary Jane.

 

[LandryFan]

Your reputation is something, not sure impeccable is the word I would use.

I beg to differ...his reputation as a horse's *** is impeccable!

 

[mrmojo]

Cowboys need to start cutting ties with players you can't depend on. There is no excuse for this.

We wont, Jerry is the head counselor of this rehab, he thinks he can fix these kids and will hold on to them as long as he can.

 

[Risen Star]

This one is for substance abuse. Last year was performance enhancing. That's why it's only 4 games.

Basically if he sneezes after this he's looking at 10 games.

 

[Doomsday101]

That's a pretty low blow shot at Jason Witten but you do have a point.

Witten? The man dedicated himself, he was always dependable and the team counted on him. I think you may be showing a low blow to Witten not me

 

[phildadon86]

And i had people here berating me for saying this guy was an idiot and to cut him. Well. here it is again.

 

[Risen Star]

 

[SportsGuru80]

He needs to be cut... NO excuses for this bull****
