If he wins a super bowl ring, he wouldn't own it long
Put him on IR and bring up someone who can contribute.

FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle David Irving has missed "multiple'' mandatory drug tests in the last two months, sources tell me, putting in jeopardy not only any chance he has of participating with this team during the NFL Playoffs but also his chance of playing in the league anytime soon.
Irving's off-field life continues to be plagued by legal turmoil largely related to conflict with his ex-girlfriend, with whom he shares a young daughter. And his on-field efforts have been marred in part by a high ankle sprain he sustained in practice on Nov. 2. But since incurring that injury, Irving has rarely shown up for work here inside The Star -- not only missing participation in practices, but also declining to attend practice as an observer, declining to attend meetings or watch film, and declining to accept rehab help with the ankle and encouragement to stay active in the weight room.
"He's just sort of checked out,'' one person close to the situation tells me.
he has let his teammates down and even sean lee has came out and tried to reach out to him. Im Not being spiteful Im being honest the people that have been there deserve it. NOT showing up is all I need to KNOWYes, what what has he done to you to make you so spiteful? And what do you really know about his situation to make you so sure?
For every one you post I can post one to lol We will just say we disagree and leave it at that.
I agree there's no need for spite; True the guy has issues, but he's free to choose and he's made that choice. Give him what he's chosen and say good bye.I mean, we don't need to be spiteful either. Seems like the guy has real issues. I'm okay with whatever the team does but that doesn't mean I have to be petty.
I do agree and if you sign that I agree. All i was saying was that there is going to come a time when they will change these rules. Maybe they will come up with a way to test you to see if you recently smoked as like drinking. You cant drink and drive you cant go to work drunk. What people do on their own time like drinking which is legal or smoking a joint if its legal or if itsYou know, I really don't care if people want to smoke the weed or not. However, that should have no bearing on whether or not a company allows its use as a condition of employment. I work for a very large technical firm (some 86,000 employees worldwide), and we have offices in states and countries where weed is legal. Regardless of local laws, the company has a zero tolerance for weed and other substances and there's no reprieve if one fails a piss test. Is this "fair?" Well, yes it is seeing as the employee knows this going in, agrees to it and has broken the terms of his employment by firing up a doob.
If the federal government decriminalizes it instead of leaving it up to the states then there is a chance it becomes much like alcohol. If the made it legal and taxed it then it could cut our deficit in half. Lol. But anyways, the NFL would have to change there rules. In Florida now you can get a medical card and smoke it, but it’s right to work state also. So even if you have a card to legally smoke it it’s still illegal on there list of employment substances and a fail test results in firing. At least the NFL gives you several chances after the failed test. That makes me optimistic that they may take it off there list if the nation wide rules change.I do agree and if you sign that I agree.

prescribed. I dont care about people smoking pot i dont smoke pot all i was saying is I think the stance on smoking pot will be revised SOMEday lol
The NFL won't change their anti-pot policy. I guarantee you they won't for various reasons.I do agree and if you sign that I agree.

A lot of people said the same about Gregory. Even if he signs with another team next year could we possibly get a comp pick?Why IR? Just cut the guy and bring in somebody who wants to play. They've given Irving plenty of help and plenty of time, but he doesn't want it and doesn't care. He wants to be an unemployed drug addict, give him what he wants and say good bye.

A bit misleading. Yes a missed test is considered a "Fail" but he has not been tested and proven to be taking drugs. I would highly doubt it also because being a man trying to get sole custody any thing like that is going to make it hard to win in court.
Exactly why they shouldn't cut him.....take the Comp Pick......put him on IRA lot of people said the same about Gregory. Even if he signs with another team next year could we possibly get a comp pick?
