I think he will end up with 10 games and 2016 will be a complete wash. then we will go into the off-season, all wondering if we will do it again and be gone for all of 2017.

I'm wit cha. I was really looking forward to seeing what he could do on the field this year. I was willing to give him a chance after the Cowboys drafted him - though I really wish they would stay away from these projects. But when they become Cowboys, they get a little more sympathy from me.

And I think fans forget that before he got hurt in the first game of the season against the Giants, he was actually pushing the Giants offensive lineman back towards the quarterback. Then the ankle injury occurs, and I believe, he never was the same even when he came back.

It's really a bummer he could give up the pot. But I too am convinced it's not just "stupidity" as it is a deeper issue.

But I have decided just as with Ro McClain (whom I supported), I'm moving on from Randy Gregory. With all due respect to his issues, he just can't be trusted, and there's no sense in emotionally investing in players who have shown a propensity for not being available for whatever reason.
Very well said.

My sentiments.....exactly.

Gregory is considered a project at this point, by not only most fans but the team as well.
DE will be high on the priority list when drafting next year, despite what happens with Gregory.

Is it official that he will get the 10 game suspension? Is there a possibility that he may only serve a 4 game after he gets out of rehad?
What difference does it make? This guy seems hopeless to stay clean.

What do we know at this point about the Gregory issue? Was it actually rehab, or was he getting help for his medical conditions someway in a long-term treatment center? And what's been said about the 'failed' test? Did he miss the test because he was in the treatment facility? Or did he fail a test and he also went to the facility?

It seemed like the team publicly acknowledged that Gregory's issues are more significant that a failed drug test, and that it was more than his career that was at stake here, didn't they? I got the sense that there was a lot going on here that's not public knowledge because it related to his personal health information and that it all played a role in how the league was going to handle his situation.

I just wish they would give us something more concrete so we can know what to expect. I understand being HIPAA compliant, but give us something!

If he has to smoke he should look into the stuff Nate Diaz was smoking..

It's legal and it's supposed to give you most of the medical benefits from the marijuana plant mi us the THC. It's called CBD oil.

No, it's not an addiction as much as it is a severe personality disorder that causes extreme anxiety. The only "drug" that works for him is marijuana.

Where you getting this information from?

In order for this defense to significantly improve, I think we're at least a year out and then some luck really has to come our way in the draft, health and free agency.

I actually want too see how the defense performs before I count them out.

To tell you the truth, I already forgot about him. That happens when your two-year track record is 90% probability of either injury or suspension.

I think it depends on circumstances. But not for sure, just a little of what I know about it.
If one volunteers to go in, they can set a certain length of time. 30 days, 60, whatever. Also they may be able to leave when they want if they don't agree to a length of time, but probably is a minimum amount of time regardless, like 2 weeks as a huge guess.

If court or otherwise ordered. It can be 1 month, or even 6 months regardless of any progress.
I feel that somehow Gregory can be released around the time he is eligible to play.

Did you miss the poke at the misspelling...

I considered him gone for the year the moment he went to 'rehab' and skipped TC

It looks like the team told him to get his life straight first and then down the road we can talk football again
