News: Gregory Suspended for a year

[Risen Star]

the way i read the ruling is he is suspended for at least another year...he would have to re-apply to get re-instated....its not a given he can be back in one year.

Correct.

 

[Walker]

They speed this along quite nice.

The league isn't paying them anything.

Are you serious? Of course the league is paying them.

Where do the players get all this money? Television contracts signed by the LEAGUE. Not an individual team.

The ticket sales pale in comparison to the television contracts.

Not allowing him to be around the facility or the team is the wrong thing to do. Gregory probably has a relapse plan and in the relapse plan should be people he can go to for support. If he feels that the football team or members in the organization can support him than he should be allowed to be there. Sending him on his own does not help with the problem. It will only manifest it especially if he feels that he is on his own. Gooddell needs to get a clue on how addiction is.

I feel like these days if anything this is negative PR for the NFL.

guy gets suspended for a year for not taking a drug test because he was in rehab...yep it really does.

 

[Zekeats]

What about the giant drug boat? Where's the investigation for that

 

[Sarge]

WATCH THE NAME CALLING PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

i agree...i think those players should be drug tested immediately.

Those are giants players. No need to test them.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

Hopefully that's it for his Cowboys career.

Careful. There are a few sensitive fragile minded people on here that might take offense to this.

 

[Nightman]

This is really too bad........it hurts the team when we really needed the help and it looked like he turned things around

We will always have Philly

 

[revospeed]

The NFLPA is partially to blame. Lobbying for less padded practices in CBA negotiations instead of due process and a fair appeals process.

 

[Vero_F250]

Floyd should be in jail. Plain and simple.

He will be. His hearing is in February. I believe for his BAC he will get a minimum of 45 days in jail. Clearly he deserves more and sooner.

 

[Nightman]

2016 + (21 + 4) - 94 - 9 - 54 = (13-3) + 3 = 6

 

[lukin2006]

Hopefully they move on from him and Lawrence and get some better quality people and players to man the defence end positions...they need to quit wasting second round picks on guys who never see the field...

 

[BourbonBalz]

Speaking as a recovering addict. You sir are ridiculously ignorant.

Did anyone force you to do drugs? If not, neither you nor Gregory have anyone to blame but yourselves. Not doing drugs isn't that difficult.

 

[Nightman]

Correct.

Cool, so he will be back just in time for the 2017 Playoffs

He just needs the right guy to mentor him and be his accountabilly buddy. Should make a fine recovery

Do we pick up another DE now that we lost Davis or do we roll with Mayowa, Irving and the Crawford?

I can't imagine what decent DE is just sitting on his couch, other than some desperate jerk who used to play for the Panthers.

 

[BourbonBalz]

This.

He still gets to work out and be a part of the team, he just can't practice and play in games. He's young (24) so why cut him.

No he does not. He cannot participate in anything or even be on team property during the suspension.
