I don’t believe that for one second. His agents had deals with Dallas (Collins) with the literal same language.

He negotiated with Denver, Dallas matched. He thought he could get more money out of Dallas. When Jerry said no, he left for Denver … where he likely wanted to be all along
Very well this could all be true.

I wonder if Jerry wished he would have said 'El Paso' in some other instances as well :)

Wow...the deal was done two weeks ago - but people on either side of the event can't let it go.
Perhaps a month from now - when the draft commences - this "he said, she said" chronicle will disappear.

You consider negotiating for a higher contract to be putting them against each other? What exactly did the Cowboys do? Stuck by him when he was getting suspended?

Yes. Look up loyalty.

All parties involved say the Cowboys had a chance to match and declined but some people can't accept that for some reason

There's no question that the C'boys' FO bent over backwards to accommodate Gregory and give him the benefit of all the doubts that he created.

Who would blame the Cowboys for wanting to protect themselves from those false promises of being clean after he then failed to keep his word?

Jerry is a technology marvel. He opens his mouth and an LED sign lights up on his forehead spelling the words "butt head".

I think it's totally reasonable story that Gregory and his agent asked for it to be taken out were told no and both parties left the table pissed.

Amazing, Jerry actually accomplished the right thing by doing the right thing.

No possible way it was planned.

It was reported that that all sides spoke again after Randy said he was choosing Denver, it was something Randy wanted, either the language or something else and Jerry told his agent and Randy to f off. That was reported

He almost gave a guy $70 million who's never recorded more than six sacks in a season and played a major role in a playoff loss.

Unbelievable
