Randy Gregory had 2 sacks in 12 games played with the 5-12 2022 Denver Broncos

[GimmeTheBall!]

Can we all agree that Jerry got it right with "El Paso"...? We were going to pay the man top edge rushing dollar but only if he conformed to our rules and didn't get in trouble and he balked...

Dear well-known member: I canna blame RG for his poor, nay, dismal performance.
No, I canna. But let us put it in the context of the entire Broncos team sucking harder than " Cocaine Bear."

You just admitted in a post Gregory didn't sign because they didn't like the language in the contract. THAT THE COWBOYS FRONT OFFICE HAD PUT IN. I'll bet you right now the Broncos are wishing they would of put that language into their offer. Just not as smart as the front office of the forum you are some reason posting on.

Why would the Broncos wish they put that language in? Nothing that happened this year would have voided any guarantees. He wasn't suspended or in any trouble.

I cheered wildly when DEN signed him.

Players such as Ganjory are not the type players to get you to a super bowl.

I did the same was very happy that he was Denver's problem and not ours.
An undisciplined progress stopper and that's putting it nicely especially after all Jerry did for him trying to give him a career and keep him on the right path that guy spit right in our franchise's face continually

That's a revisionary spin on history....Jerry got it wrong (hence the rumored tantrum), it was Gregory that CHOSE his destination.

Jerry picked that loser in the second round. He then gave him a roster spot and a special cloak of protection for years despite a complete lack of production and constant selfish behavior. Even after 5 straight years of proving himself to be unworthy Jerry offers him a massive contract with tons of guaranteed money. Jerry most certainly did not get this right. It is a text book example of why Jerry sucks. The team always takes a jump forward when Jerry's pet cats end up getting discarded.

It sounds like you are the one trying to be right and can't it let it go -- why does anyone feel this strongly about Gregory still? I'll give Jerry credit for not taking out that clause but he still offered him big dollars. Seems like Denver bails us out of a lot of bad decisions we are trying to make (see Paxton Lynch).

actually im 100% right RG is gone and is not here because of a clause the FO was unwilling to remove.. easy done 100% let it go..no need to talk about a bronco is there?????.. mic drop yet a new post pops up and the usual suspects start the hate the owner troll responses and for what? RG is not here ..

He started 3-4 games total and played 6. The 12 comes from I believe the combined tackles stat which you misread as games played.

The Broncos' high-priced free-agent acquisition Randy Gregory has been a disruptive force who can be relied upon to make things really happen. Gregory has now registered forced fumbles in back-to-back games.

Gregory made a palpable impact in his four games as a starter on Denver's defense. He notched nine tackles (six solo), two tackles for a loss, two sacks, and seven QB hitsbefore getting bitten by the injury bug.

Gregory was playing like a beast, before the injury. There is difference between recognizing pure talent and saying the guy is a head case or isn’t reliable for whatever the reasons.

And maybe he chose Denver because he likes, you know, “weed” and the culture of weed there is something he wanted. He doesn’t owe the Cowboys Jack squat. Jerry had his own intentions to keep Gregory around and it wasn’t because he was like the Curvin Richards of DEs.

Looks like Jerry had another Paxten Lynch moment, he didn't get the guy he wanted and we all breathed a sigh of relief.

Spot on, but you can’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative around here

Gregory didn’t have a bad year at all when he was on the field, I’m fact he was darn good, the guy just couldn’t stay on the field.

 

[khiladi]

If Randy Gregory and David Irving had their heads on straight, we probably wouldn’t even have even needed Micah Parsons. The point being their talent was obvious when they were on the field together for whatever limited time they played and low cost. Jerry kept them around with minimal risk for a reason.

I have to disagree. Jerry gave him protection on the roster because he was low cost and high upside while not taking up a roster spot while suspended. Jerry offered him a big deal, but Gregory turned it down when presented with a clause that protected the cowboys from him getting fined or suspended which is the #1 reason not to sign him.

Gregory is still a top notch pass rusher when he’s on the field. Things ended up working out for the cowboys, however signing him wouldn’t have been the end of the world either. The deal he signed with Denver that is supposed to be the exact same as the cowboys gives the team an easy out after this year as only $28M was guaranteed.

 

[Bullflop]

I will man up and eat crow. I defended Gregory for his entire time as a Cowboy.

Don't feel too bad -- I spoke well of Gregory much longer than I should have.
If it's any consolation, we had plenty of company, though. He's a dummy.

LOL. Explain to me how Denver now wishes they had that langauge in their contract?

 

[kskboys]

That was a contract that smelled bad, I'm glad we got lucky and it fell through.

I was not happy when I saw the numbers we were going to pay him. You just don't pay problem children big money.

 

[kskboys]

They paid him to be great. He wasn’t.

And no Dallas didn’t play it right. They were willing to overpay for a non-elite DE.

If they didn’t want him, they wouldn’t have offered or pulled the one they made. They got a gift when Gregoryand his agent had an issue with language in the contract.

Trying to sell this as a shrewd move by the FO is bizarre.

Very bizarre.

He was on pace for around 6 sacks and 21 QB hits.

We got almost similar production out of Fowler who cost considerably less.

He doesn't owe Jerry anything, as you said. And he and his agent didn't like the language that could have him lose money if suspended or fined by the league. That's perfectly within his right to make that call.

All that being said, at that price, IMO it was fine to let him walk. But no, Jerry doesn't get credit for being smart on Gregory now that it appears Gregory might be overpaid.

 

[tyke1doe]

I agree but the only thing I am curious about is how many offensive linemen Randy Gregory tackled last season?

 

[MyFairLady]

Gregory is still a top notch pass rusher when he’s on the field.

I am sorry but the guy is 30 and has never had a quality season. His career is almost at an end and the odds of him ever producing for an entire season do not go up as the years go by. They only ever go down.

What a waste of talent.
I'll admit, I was high on Randy Gregory because I thought he had massive potential.
But, alas, he couldn't stay on the field and stay off the weeeeeeeddddddddd!
When he tackled the 49ers offensive lineman, I was finally done with him. That penalty cost us time and, likely, the game.
When he balked at the contract because the Joneses wanted to reinsert a clause that wasn't there before, I wasn't upset that he was upset and took his "talent" to Denver.
But he's no longer a Cowboy, so I shed no tears.
