Every team that passes on him gave up on him before the draft even happened. It’s too bad what’s happening to him, but you’re not running a halfway house. You’re paying him millions of dollars to stay clean, and he said no.
There’s a lesson to learn when you and the Bengals and the Lions and the Buccaneers draft these kinds of players, yet the Steelers and the Patriots and the Packers keep saying heck no.
Who was the next pass rusher taken in the draft?
60 Dallas Cowboys LB Randy Gregory Nebraska
63 Seattle Seahawks DE Frank Clark Michigan
Green Bay would have taken Clark. Do you take Gregory next time this decision comes up? And the time after that? Cut him. If he gets his life together, someone will give him a second chance. But every time he messes up, every time a big article pops up on ESPN about Randy Gregory’s latest blunder, it’s gonna have DALLAS COWBOYS DID IT AGAIN in the headline, and that’s a big problem.
Look at recent examples of the consequences: Dez Bryant held out until he got every last penny from you, while Alshon took below market value for the opportunity to play in Philadelphia. Just in the last week, the Eagles signed their star pass rusher to a team friendly deal, while your star pass rusher has proclaimed he needs way more money than you’re offering to ever suit up for Dallas again. How did it come to this?
The star not longer means what it used to, and it’s directly due to decisions like this. Every little blip on the radar adds up to create the bigger picture. Tell me something, do you think the Demarcus Lawrence has felt truly honored to play for America’s team? Do you think he’s handling this any different than if he were drafted by the Cardinals, by the Texans, by the Commanders? When Brandon Graham had his news conference, he said he knew he’d make more money somewhere else, but he didn’t want to be somewhere else. Don’t you remember when that was you people said that about?
And now we’re talking about giving a player a fourth, a fifth, a sixth chance. After he promised he’d never do it again. Why? Who benefits from this, other than Randy Gregory’s pocketbook? Who exactly are you helping by keeping him on the team? It’s not as if you’re ruining his life by cutting him. He’d sit at home with his millions you paid him and smoke weed all day.
If you could rewind time and make that pick again, would you? If not, isn’t that the very definition of a bust?
