News: PFT: Randy Gregory ready to apply for reinstatement

[Bleu Star]

We have brought in guys. Gregory hasnt prevented us from doing that what so ever.

If I lose trust in you, it's gone. Vanished. Adios. Arrivadierche.

Every moment you're in the building is a moment potentially wasted on not having someone else there in that same spot.

Just my humbled opinion.

I wish him the best but I'm a Cowboys fan that yearns for success and one of the life bloods of success is trust.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

And there probably never will be one way or the other.

We have many pieces of substance confirming our thoughts originally that he didnt fail an additional drug test. We've known that the TMZ news was fake, you didnt acknowldge it. Hopefully you will right now.

 

[glimmerman]

He will deny reinstatement and suspend Elliot again for asking.

If you want success, hold out hope for Gregory.

He could be the missing peice. Plays an important position that we are currently lacking at, and is uber talented at that position.

Did it come out that it was fake? If there is proof, I have absolutely no problem whatsoever acknowledging it. Just provide a link confirming it was fake and I will surely take it under consideration. I still haven't seen one.

randy's 2013 and 2014 seasons at Nebraska look like a billboard for football honors recognition. no doubt he smoked then but played brilliantly. so the pot must have helped him. even our former pro bowl center mark stepnowski smoked pot and was a standout center in the nfl. I would think that with a doctors recommendation, certain individuals should be allowed to indulge when it is deemed necessary for medical reasons. but that's jmo.

He hasn’t been on the field long enough to show me the talent. Taco had more production in the same number of snaps.

I know he needs to get into camps with his team mates. Get into the game and the flow. He has a lot to prove to a lot of people. The trust has to be earned. But whether he plays well or not, I hope he is ok as a person.

I have zero expectations with him. As a matter of fact, I'm below zero in negative terriritory with regarding to expectations.

Last I heard he failed because he didn’t report for testing. He hasn’t failed a test in a while. But not showing when they call is the same as failing. Even though they said he was tested in rehab and was passing.

Who the heck knows what the truth is. But I guarantee you this, they have tested the crap out of him this past year. You know the NFL wants him to fail. Then they can do away with him for good. He is on his last chance so he is now up for random testing at any time for the rest of his NFL career. Fail one more and it’s a lifetime ban.

No, you provide something other than a fake TMZ report to prove otherwise.

Gregory showed more in the game against the Eagles than Taco showed all season, unfortunately.

NFL it’s a illegal substance. As long as they deem it illegal it illegal. But I agree with you. With a doctors medical card it should be allowed.

His 1 sack? And Taco has a better sack celebration.

For the life of me I can't figure out why you are so difficult on this topic. I like you so I don't want to get sarcastic and I don't know how many times I need to explain this for you to understand.

I don't have to provide proof the TMZ report is not fake. I have never tried to pass it off as fact. I have only passed it off as something that has been reported. In addition to relaying that TMZ reported he failed another test, I have also included the fact that Jerry indicated he was skeptical of the report. I have stated repeatedly that I don't know if the report is true or not.

You insist on trying to kill the messenger every time and insist the report is fake. For some reason, and I have asked in the past why with no response from you, me keeping the opinion of the report being "unconfirmed" seems to bother you. Being of the opinion the absence of a confirmed failed drug test does not automatically equal being clean seems to bother you and other posters.

If it comes out that Gregory has been clean, I will be happy for him and as a Cowboys fan. I want him to come back, but I'm not going to claim something that I don't know to be true. If it is being reported that Gregory has been clean, then I'll be extremely happy to read about it. You've claimed many sources are now reporting it. I did a search and couldn't find anything. If you have the sources, let me know, please.

There's multiple reports WAY MORE RECENT that say he hasnt failed a tezt in 20+ months now.
The beat writers close to the organization say the same thing.
TMZ hasnt said a peep about there report since.
He's in the stages of applying for reinstatement.
The league hasnt said a word about him failing, which THEY MAKE PUBLIC.

No YOU prove that your little TMZ report that is your the only thing vacking your stance at this point is true. You do the work, ive already proven it.

No, his entire game against the eagles. Ill give you the celebration.

1. He failed a test late 2016 which got him banished so 20 months clean cannot be true.
2. Are beat writers assuming the absence of a confirmed failed drug test means he has been clean is there sources claiming he has been clean? (this is why i want to see the proof)
3. What else does TMZ need to follow up on? If report is true, a known druggie failed another test.
4. Being in the stages of reinstatement doesn't mean he hasn't failed a test. He could have failed multiple tests, he could be clean.
5. The league has no reason to make anything public at this point. He's banished. They only make it public when they announce the suspension. Since he is banished then there is no other discipline to announce. So, that would leave Gregory to announce it.

Can you show me where in the policy it says if he fails one more time it is a lifetime ban?

Lol.. if he has straightened out and plays to his potential then we will have a monster. I am just so afraid something will happen and he gets put out for life. At the time it was a smaller gamble for JJ. Now it’s a bigger gamble. If he gets to where this team and staff is depending on him and let’s Irving or D-Law go and he fails again it will hurt this organization. I think that’s why they are going along and not counting on him to be a part of the team. It’s almost a big gamble to put him on the 53 man if reinstated.

He just had his year long ban after that it’s lifetime. I think. It may be up to commish and be 1 year each time he fails. Marijuana is different I think. But I thought in stage 3 of the program after the 1 year ban that it’s lifetime ban.
