Randy Gregory Expected To Retire

Things sure went south in a hurry with the situation in TB. At least the headline didn't say 'former Dallas Cowboy' like I expected.

Entering the NFL as a Cowboys second-rounder, Gregory’s most productive season came with Dallas in 2018 (six sacks). The early portion of his career was marred by suspensions, though, and four substance abuse bans left him sidelined for the 2017 and ’19 campaigns. A deal seemed to be in place to remain with the Cowboys in 2022, but that agreement was soon replaced the Broncos one which included the same terms.

If Gregory, 31, does indeed hang up his cleats he will depart the league with 78 combined regular and postseason games to his name. His career earnings check in at roughly $33MM. It would come as a surprise if teams showed interest in him as a free agent given the nature of his Buccaneers exit.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

He retired years ago. Been collecting checks for an extra little while.

I can't tell, but do wish him the best in retirement. Was it internal struggles, just the love of weed or a mix.

Randy Gregory fails to show up to his own presser to announce his retirement, leaving the NFL baffled.

Jerry got lucky when Gregory threw a fit and took his talents elsewhere . Jerry was ready to back up the brinks truck .

Who?!

Yup and Randy didn’t like how the cowboys protected themselves with language in the contract if he did dumb things

 

[KJJ]

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

The party has probably just begun for him. Now he can spend all day stoned.

 

[Reality]

Looks like his career went up in "smoke" ...

It’s too bad, but unfortunately is a reminder of the Cowboys being WAY too cavalier with their second round picks. Major character and injury risks need better and more investigation so that they can make better calls on where to draw the line. And they need to err on the side of caution more.

EL PASO!! Now he has more time to smoke his damn life away!!

 

[ShortRound]

Wasted potential

 

[Praxit]

..this guy had at least 2-3 good years to roll with. He got nice lucrative paycheck in Denver.

Lost focus, lost dedication, lost perseverance...etc. I was actually surprised SF picked him up.

In all this, he almost had a ring last year. At this point, he probably said, " *&$# it" .....im out.

Wait a minute........GM Jethro may talk him out of it. Jerry knows best.

 

[Ranching]

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

I think his parties are just getting started....

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Did he ever even start?

 

[MonsterD]

Thanks for nothing Randy you and the Hot Boyz lasting legacy.

 

[RS12]

I thought he retired years ago. I remember the "just you wait till he gets it together" posts years ago, he is gonna show you. He showed us all right. How to make big money without accomplishing anything. Another god awful draft pick.

 

[Kingofholland]

What a career... suspended, shows brief upside, suspended, shows upside, suspended, weed ban lifted and returns showing upside and bone headed play combo, backs out of contract, busts with new team, floats around, no shows for camp, retires...

Hall of fame or nah? Prob. missed a suspension or 2.
