Gregory beyond 60 day reinstatement deadline?

Creeper · May 29, 2020

Did Gregory actually agree to stop smoking weed? Seems to me that might be a prerequisite for Goodell to reinstate him. But I am just guessing here. From what I last read, which was a while ago it sounded like Gregory felt he needed the weed to get him through his issues.

I am really just hoping under McCarthy we just stop all these 'Animal Rescues' soon.

We just borrow trouble too often doing it and we are not regarded as heroic doing it.

The fact Big Mike spoke about Smith looking so good after his layoff.

It's all fine and well but I really hope it's just coach speak and not something he does much of DTR.

I do not care for the distractions and I bet the players do not want it.

They just want to play and watch film and get ready to play.

Not answer questions about another player who has repeatedly been suspended or a player like Dak and is his negotiations affecting the team or not.

Give me a break.

I disagree. Get talent wherever you can, especially guys at RDE. Give me guys with attitude and teetering on trouble and I say suit them up and turn them loose.

Who needs details? The Cowboys are victims of CONSPIRACY! ..... again.

You know Roger Goodell was the guy on the grassy knoll, right?

You may be thinking of David Irving

There is no rule that a decision must be made within 60 days, that is a misnomer. The only reference to 60 days as it relates to reinstatement’s is that all parties will take steps within 60 days of application to help the commissioner make a decision.

Here is the exact wording from Appendix B of the collectively bargained Policy and Program on Substances if Abuse:

“5. All individuals involved in the process will take steps to enable the Commissioner to render a decision within 60 days of the receipt of the application. If conditions are imposed, the Player will agree to comply with those conditions as part of his reinstatement to the status of an active Player.”

The wording is a bit confusing, but the 60 days refers to the process of taking steps, not the rendering of a decision.

The Cowboys have never really been successful doing this.

Name me one player we ever successfully did this with.

It's always a pig in a poke crap.

Never happen under Landry. If a player went South, he was traded or cut.

Raphael Septien, Lance Rentzel, Dwain Thomas, Hollywood Henderson, etc.

Even under Jimster who was famous for having hoodlem players on his teams cracked his whip at times and cut guys.

So nay..do not agree and that is not Big Mike's style.

My guess is the league office has provided a response to Gregory and the Cowboys. That response isn’t favorable to Gregory. More time is being taken before he is conditionally reinstated or a flat out denial is officially announced. My gut feeling is he probably failed or missed a test after filing for reinstatement.

this is obviously not possible because CZ conspiracy theorist #1 @Kaiser has told us that it is because Goodell hates the Cowboys

:facepalm:

Seriously doubt Gregory ever steps on to a nfl football field ever again.

Given the changes in the NFL's policy, I don't get that statement at all.

Day 69 of the 60-day decision window on Randy Gregory, who, unlike dozens of active NFL players (12 already in the year 2020), has a spotless criminal record.

Bobhaze · May 30, 2020

There are so many variables none of us know anything about which may have bearing on the delay of RG’s possible reinstatement.

We must all remember that Randy Gregory’s mental health issues fall under the category of medical privacy (HIPPA law) that neither the press nor fans can have access to without permission. All the speculation about the delay is just that...speculation.

Look, I can’t stand Roger Goodell, but honestly, the idea that he is on some dark conspiracy to stop RGs reinstatement is premature at best. There could be some legit reasons we simply don’t know about.

Someone posting the actual rules in the face of mass whining. I like it. I like it a lot.

It'll still get ignored though. Trust me on this. Lol.

We're easily beyond the 60 day reinstatement deadline, so can anyone clarify why this is still unresolved?

That's because I believe the 60 days is an unwritten rule. I don't think the Commish has a set time table.

No problem.

Everybody has an opinion.

I do not agree with you either.

Such is life.

But elaborate and we can explore.

I got time.

Yessir, it's a beautiful thing to come to a common understanding! Lol

I love the reclamation projects as long as we have the structure in place to give ourselves the best chance to have a positive outcome with said project.

With Garrett, I understood all apprehension to this strategy, for reasons that we can all agree on. With Big Mike, I feel like we are in great hands. He's the kind of guy that a lost soul will respect and want to please. At least so far, in my opinion.

Think Mike Tyson and Cus D'amato.

Good question.

The NFL is required to rule on a reinstatement request within 60 days.

Randy Gregory is file for reinstatement according to a March 22 report from Todd Archer.

The Covid lockout might have allowed the NFL to extent the 60 days.

Reporting of details has also been impacted by the Covid lockout.

The first on-field activities will be when news starts to pickup with regards to team details.

Randy is with Rico....Another dream of dreams here....

Aviano90 · May 30, 2020

If anyone is upset about hearing no response within 60 days regarding Gregory, then Understand the answer would be no if the NFL announced their ruling to appease you. The extension to the 60 days is only a positive for Gregory or else the league would have just denied him already. And this has nothing to with the Cowboys getting screwed or else Smith wouldn’t have been conditionally reinstated to prove you wrong.

It’s been evident for years you should count on Randy for squat. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you. Gregory has shamed us damn near as many times as cats have lives.

He has always had a dark conspiracy against the Cowboys. Look over his history of dealing with them. From Jerry on down.
