I also loved Randy Gregory. Don't really know why, but I was pulling for him every step of the way. Maybe I see some of my oldest son in him, the one I nearly lost to drugs. I cannot express my joy when Randy gaot his head on straight, got back to the team, and really started putting it all together, finally. I was so looking forward to see what he could really do. To see him really grow and blossom.
And now this. There is no other man in the NFL other than Jerry Jones that would have stuck by Gregory. None. I truly believed in my heart of hearts that if there was ever a player that would be truly LOYAL to the Dallas Cowboys in this day and age, it would HAVE to be Randy Gregory. Right? Randy Gregory, literally, owes Jerry Jones EVERYTHING. 100% of everything that he has is due to Jerry Jones sticking by him.
I understand the clause.
Every contract that he ever signed had that clause in it. I know that it gave Dallas the right to cancel his guarantees if he was fined. But it did NOT lower his pay or remove any dollars from the deal. So even if Dallas DID cancel his guarantees, he could STILL earn every dollar in that contract. That fact is lost on many, possibly including Randy. This whole thing has dimmed my faith in humanity.
