"I know the details of his situation, and I can't and I won't comment on details about it," Jones said. "But I am not giving up on Randy Gregory for the Cowboys and certainly not giving up on him as a person in life. At all. Not that it makes any difference that I do, but I do not dismiss him from our future."

Sorry if re-post. If nothing else, Jerry has proven in the past that he at least believes in nurturing players as best as possible. They'll eventually cut ties (Pac-Man Jones, Hardy), but often they'll do everything in their power and exhibit as much patience as Job to try to get people on their feet.

Saying the right things. Hopefully Gregory helps himself and does well in his life.

As a football player though? Game over man, game over.

That's why players want to play for Dallas.. you get in Jerry's soft side and he'll take care of you

Jerry Jones has his faults, but no one can say he doesn't care about his players. It causes him to hold onto players too long, but I can see his heart in these decisions.

Thanks for posting...and as a fan, I love this part of Jerry, the man. Coming up in an explosive wildcatting environment, Mr. Jones has not lost his sense of commitment to his people.

So did he basically confirm that Gregory got pinched again?

I get supporting the kid but he's going to be out another full season if the reports are true. How can you continue to stand by that?

 

[elcowboi]

Bless Jerry's heart...

Its like in fantasy football when you hold a player all year lol

I am pretty sure just about everybody else has.

Had nothing to do with it. You need to be talented first and foremost

 

[Broges74]

I wonder if Randy can appeal and get in some time this season? I'm sure though he'll fail 3 more tests before he returns...

Jerry will give guys a chance he will also release them as he has others like TO, Hardy, Randle and likely McClain. Jerry was there for Irvin when he ran into his problems as well.

I understand standing by him as a person and hoping he can kick his addiction but he needs to move on from him as a member of this team.

Yep. Roster decisions have to be made as if Gregory never even existed.

I had Josh Gordon... Dohhhhhhh

 

[MileyDancer]

Why is everyone acting like Gregory is a stud? The dude has done NOTHING to indicate he's more than a JAG. Nothing.

 

[Prime21]

Jerry probably forsees marijuana being taken off the banned substances list.

They will stop testing eventually and when they do the pending suspensions will be overturned.

Watch for it this off-season.

I had Josh Gordon... Dohhhhhhh

I'm in a keeper league and had both Gordon and Cruz...

There really is no reason NOT to keep him on the roster. He is an appreciably small portion of the salary cap even when not suspended, and doesn't count against it when he is (he doesn't get paid, I think).

Point being, unless cutting him helps him somehow, there is no reason to do it. And only those around him know whether cutting him would benefit him.

 

[John813]

Well, he didn't give up on Brent, either.

Guess there's no real downside, as he doesn't count on the 53
