Why are some reports saying "conditional" reinstatement?
Part time pass rusher is, in my mind, Gregory's ceiling, and even then, at best, a good role player but not a major impact one. I don't know if Smith will be any better at this point, but like you said, he was an absolute terror earlier in his career, so the ceiling is likely much higher with him.That's what I'm thinking too. Gregory may have had 6 sacks as a part-time pass rusher, but that's as good as it got with him. Aldon Smith was an absolute terror.
And unlike Gregory, Smith wasn't a liability or a target of opponent running games the way Gregory was. He and Crawford were a huge part of the Rams running over the Cowboys to the tune of 273 yards.
I think Smith brings the physicality and strength to hold up against the run as well.
A travesty he got reinstated before Gregory.......but glad he got reinstated nonetheless.

Yeah I've heard that too but never given a reason why. What on earth has Gregory done?Broaddus said during draft weekend, he heard Aldon had a better chance of being reinstated. I'm not sure what's the holdup with Gregory.
Aldon has hitched his wagon to Jay Glazer and a Veteran support group.I'll put it like this - I cannot think of a 1 year "character issues" gamble FA we've signed whose issues have not cropped back up. And to my knowledge, coming back to pro football after 5 years off is unprecedented in the sport.
Very low chance this gamble hits, very high chance it backfires. I'm not enthusiastic about this signing at all.
