Randy Gregory Has 11 Tackles

[MyFairLady]

Is anyone else worried that we are gonna sink a lot of cap dollars into a 30 year old DE that can only muster 11 tackled in a make or break contract year?

 

[Aftershock]

This is the type of player and human being that will sink into the meta-verse once paid. Seen it too many times.

 

[CATCH17]

Randy Gregory is awesome. Sign him.

 

[Crown Royal]

Strange thing to glom onto. He also has 6 sacks, something like 15 QB hits, 3 FFs and an Interception. He is an impact player.

 

[viman96]

Randy is really good and deserves another contract

 

[gmb1]

I thought they weren't gonna extend him?

 

[jwooten15]

He’s also been beyond dominant at very important moments in games. But sure, let’s find the negative and harp on that

 

[aikemirv]

He has done less with Lawrence around than he did before that. I don't understand that.

To what standards. Many fans hold a player that gets paid big, as to being a super hero, rather than just maintaining decent team play.

Its been said time and time again.....players don't just loaf when they get paid....their body just isn't nearly as good as it was when they were in their prime. Gregory is a hard worker.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He has done less with Lawrence around than he did before that. I don't understand that.

But how has the unit looked with him? Its been dominate. And how many games has he even played since he's been back with Lawrence? One or two?

LOL.

You and your silly facts.

 

[JBS]

Next start a thread about how many passing tds Gregory has

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Some team is gonna offer him big $$. I said in another thread, six of our defensive starters are FAs next year and none of those six are getting paid much. We could possibly lose all of them.

There is a big problem with fans looking at stats and forming their entire opinion based on whatever number the box score tells them.

No matter how good or bad someone is the numbers is all that matter.

Gregory has been incredible this year and an absolute game wrecker at times.

 

[Vtwin]

He has been the most consistent playmaking d-lineman this season.

We finally have a playmaker at all three levels of the defense.

 

[817Gill]

I guess Micah’s lack of interceptions concern you too huh?

 

[jazzcat22]

LOL.

You and your silly facts.

Yeah those QB's feel silly, knocked silly after a Gregory hit.
How about that fact?

I am concerned whenever Jerry pays a player more money than he is worth. So how much is too much for Gregory? I would be okay paying him $14 million a year, maybe a bit more, but I would not pay him $20 million. Then again I wouldn't have paid Zeke $15 million or Lawrence $21 million, or Dak$40 million. Shave a few bucks off those contracts and maybe they could afford to pay Gregory.

But I think this problem is going to be out of the Cowboys hands. I think they are going to be CAP strapped in 2022 and anyone getting an offer for more than $10 million will be too rich for Dallas. I am expecting to see a large number of Cowboys players to be signed by other teams. That's why 2021 is so important. It is their last chance for a few years.

Please don't use facts here, that will only confuse the narrative
