Meaning, it was more important for Gregory to go back through rehab over the past 6 weeks than it was to file for reinstatement months ago so he could become eligible to participate in OTAs. He went to rehab despite being clean all this time and that cost him the ability to participate in the off season program.

So, if he still needed rehab despite not failing a test in almost 2 years, how confident are you going to be that he won't need to go back in rehab in a couple more months and miss training camp or the regular season?

I'm very confident seeing as how he hasn't failed in almost 2 years. Sure OTAs help but training camp is the main thing. You're more worried about him not applying for reinstatement then making sure he is 100 percent ready to move forward. Seems like your priorities are in the wrong place pal

That’s not entirely true. I am more worried about his need for intensive rehab than I am eased by the fact he claims he hasn’t failed a test in so long. Failed test or not, needing rehab indicates there are still issues.

Issues cast doubt as to his ability to become and/or remain eligible to play, pal.

And why rush to get back for training camp? He has top 5 talent. Wait another 2 months, go through rehab again, and walk on for week 1. We need to make extra sure he isn’t rushing anything. Being able to play in the games is the main thing. As a matter of fact, take the regular season off and just be ready for the playoffs, just to make sure he is right.

You're overreacting. He hasn't failed a test in almost 2 years, he filed for reinstatement. Not sure what else your problem is with Gregory but damn, seriously dude

Why? I’ve just extended out the timeline to ensure he isn’t rushing. He did just finish extensive rehab and we are wanting him to get his application in so he makes training camp? Shouldn’t we be more concerned with his long term health instead of his ability to make training camp? Priorities.

I thought he could be dependable if he straightened his life out. However, when Ian Rapoport reported that Gregory just recently spent more than 6 weeks in intensive drug and alcohol rehab (at the same time he reported Gregory was filing on Thursday), it really made me lose all confidence we can count on him.

This habit was supposed to have been kicked, and if he is still struggling to the point he needed more rehab this late in the game, then I doubt we can ever depend on him. Maybe I just don't understand the rehab process, but it is my understand Gregory has been to rehab several times already. I don't doubt people may need several rounds of rehab as relapses happen, but we are led to believe Gregory has been clean since July 2016. It is very puzzling he needed to complete another stint in rehab almost 2 years later while remaining clean for so long. I thought people went to rehab to break the habit/learn to cope with the cravings and then went to meetings/support groups to assist in their long term recovery afterwards.

If he needs rehab just to continue being clean, what's to say he doesn't feel like he needs to go back to rehab 2 weeks into the season (if he gets reinstated)?

I also wonder why he needs 2,000 pages of documentation in support of his application. That number is mind boggling to me. He could have been in rehab every day since his suspension with a daily progress report and daily drug tests and that would account for less than 1,000 pages of supporting documentation. I know that didn't happen but what in the world is he submitting? It just doesn't make sense.

This post is pretty ignorant for how addiction and rehabilitation work. He has not failed a test in 2 years.

Oh and Cowboys have an entire mental health department in house.

And who says he "needs" 2000 pages. it's called being thorogh.

You are trying really hard to find a reason to not like him.

Once again, you are wrong. I actually like him and have been eagerly waiting for him to return because I think he can really help the team.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Behavior speaks louder than words. You claim to like him yet work to undermine his credibility here with every post. You actively plan for his failure while ignoring any upside. It is what it is.

If this is how you treat people you like i would be interested to see what you do to people you don't.

Well, thinking his situation doesn’t make sense does not = not liking him.

This process didn’t seem right from last October until now. The only thing that has made a little sense is finding out he has just competed rehab again.

2000 pages worth of documentation doesn’t make sense. You claim it is being “thorough” and I wonder what in the heck can be included. He could have been in rehab the entire 16 months of banishment with daily progress reports and drug tests and that would come out to about 900 pages of documentation. There would still be a need for an additional 1100 pages worth of material. Not sure how many player testimonials he got but would need a ton of them.

And I am not treating Gregory in any way. I am discussing his situation with other fans, which apparently rubs you and others the wrong way.

I'm not even going to debate this comment right here because it sounds like a toddler writing. Good day to you and perhaps we can debate a different topic at a later time. Enjoy your weekend
