"All individuals involved in the process will take steps to enable the Commissioner to render a decision within 60 days of the receipt of the application," the policy reads.

But that's not a deadline. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy explained to PennLive via email that "there is no set date when a decision must be made" regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver's case case, and cited the league policy.

Yup cause about 98% of the people that comments on this forum stayed Bashing Gregory, we got the threads to prove it...

Now look Our Best Pass rusher is coming back soon....
He was bashed by 98% of the people because he 100% deserved it. To get banned for a year like this kid did takes repeated screw-ups on his end. He was not banned because of a single mistake, he stacked mistakes upon mistakes.

If he wants to get back into the good graces of the fans he needs to show that he is a changed person.

yeah, and rightfully so. He stole $ for 2 years and produced squat. He deserved to get bashed, and if he makes it back, he deserves to be rooted for.
How did he steal $ for 2 years?

He does not get paid while suspended. He has been paid for 1 year plus 2 games of another year.

It's still mind boggling to me that it's over 6 months past the time he could have filed for reinstatement. He could have had his status known for the draft and free agency, been able to start discussing football related matters with the team again, use the team facilities, and participate in OTAs. Those opportunities have been wasted by a player who has reportedly been clean since July 2016. After being away for 2 years, that's not a good way to start trying climb out from behind the 8 ball.
Clearly you don't have any clue why Gregory didn't apply for reinstatement do you?

Discussed in here at the time.

If he gets reinstated, he's going to have one hell of a party - I bet the whole team will be invited.

We already have one of last year's top pass rushers in the league on the team. Gregory will have to go a long way to be better than Lawrence already is. I understand potential, but it's bold statement considering what we know we've got. I'd be happy to get six to eight sacks from Gregory if he's reinstated. I'd consider that a win.
While Lawrence was a beast last season Gregory has the potential to be much better. Gregory was a top 5 pick without the weed issues. Now will he live up to that potential is the question
