It's not BS. It's logic. You are just wanting to use an oft-repeated, feel-good narrative and bend the reality of cold, hard business to suit that narrative. Teams would have taken Gregory and held him if the circumstances warranted it. If they got other long-term options while he had issues, Gregory would have been gone. Just like if we did. We never did and thus Gregory is still here, ironically in the same 1-year scenario we've done the past few seasons with rent-a-players because of him. We'll see what his future holds after this year. Maybe he does well and they want him back or a youngster develops and they determine they want to ride with that guy on the cheap and let Gregory leave. If the former, the team is hoping your same mirage of a narrative helps give them the inside track to re-sign him but will also most certainly be used by you and other fans to beat Gregory with if he leaves via free agency. I speak truth. You not being able to handle it is for you to accept or not. So far you choose not. It happens.
No Im not, Jerry has on occasion had players use his private Jet because of family emergency and or death in a family. He has stood by his players in some of their worst times. Yes he would not do so with a poor player but he has often brought in players whom other teams have given up on and has taken heat for doing it. As for what happens next season with Gregory contract I don't know, 1st off he has a lot to prove he showed signs last season but if he expects to get a big contract he will have to do more than just show signs. As for any type of so called loyalty I don't expect that, I would hope that he would be willing to structure a deal that pays him but also allows the Cowboys to work within the cap but if he choose to leave for bigger money should he have a breakout season, that is just the way it goes. Only narrative I see is your own disdain for Jerry and afraid to give any credit what so ever to Jerry for keeping a player who has been suspended multiple times when many others would have cut him a long time ago. I can promise you I would have cut him after the 2nd time he was suspended.
