It is way too early to see what the Cowboys 2022 CAP will look like. We have to see how this offseason plays out. Do they sign Dak? Chido? Lewis? Aldon Smith? So much can happen.
But the question is, what will Gregory be worth if he finishes the season with 13 sacks, and is as disruptive as he was in 2020 for the short time he played. I would say he could get something in the area of the Smiths in Green Bay, which is $16.5 million a year. However, Gregory is a dump truck of baggage he carries with him. If he messes up again he could be suspended permanently. Teams have to factor that into their negotiations. So, if Gregory has a breakout year, I would assume he has no more setbacks with the league. I still think he gets a minimum of $14 million from someone and probably more. He could be a top tier free agent in 2022.
I would hope he does Dallas a favor, but his agent is not going to allow him to play for pennies in Dallas when he can make big bucks somewhere else. I think he owes the Cowboys, but he owes himself and his family more.
