[Playmaker247]

Mods can we get a thread title change so there’s no confusion about planning to apply vs already applied.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory, suspended indefinitely in February 2019, has officially filed for reinstatement to the NFL, a source told ESPN.

And I thoroughly enjoyed it!! Took me back to when Aikman was still under center...

I don't see the local media, did Stepnoski make any public comments on the new laws and the new CBA?

Still just a rumor. Best wishes to RG.

This is coming from Gregory’s camp via DMN

Mods please change title to: “Randy Gregory Officially Applies for Reinstatement”

Gregory has had more welcome back’s than Mr Kotter.

Underrated comment.

How many times has it been reported on here that he's applied for reinstatement??

Exactly. Like I said, even with the new CBA it's silly for us to rely on this guy.

He's had his chances, made multiple promises, and has failed every time for us.

So much wasted potential.

It's like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown every time he goes to kick it.

It'd be nice if he finally got it together but I'm not counting on it.

It’s been reported multiple times he “plans to apply.” It has never been reported, besides today, that he has officially applied.

He had the best of intentions last year too but then he got high. Now it shouldn't be a problem, we'll see.

Agree 100%, I said the same thing months ago, people act like missing literally years of NFL play means nothing, and that he got a sack every other play he was in on.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if he returns and is a top pass rusher, Cowboys sure need a better outside rush....

Why should he have to apply?
All weed related suspensions should be automatically lifted.

It should solely between Gregory and the Cowboys now.
Lawyers make things unnecessarily difficult... lol/smh

If he can get into shape, he's an upgrade over Quinn, imo.
Maybe not sack totals, but he's a better player overall, I believe.

It would be beautifully awkward if he were to win the
2020 Comeback Player of the Year... lol
(I know, I know. They'll never consider it. Just let me have this moment... lol)

Imagine he broke the sack record. The looks on their faces when they have to give him Defensive Player of the Year.

Hell yeah!
I'm rootin' for the kid.

 

[Bullflop]

I'll be keeping my expectations at a moderate level, while leaving room for hope to grow with each play he makes.

That is my question, too. Since the policy has changed, why is re-enstatement by the commissioner necessary?

once

Underrated comment.

Lol! Truly.

 

[buybuydandavis]

He did apply. Did you read the thread?......I’ll cut you some slick though because they should change the thread title. It was reported by Todd Archer about 30 mins ago they he had officially applied.

yay! Good Randy! I've been supporting him. The only outstanding issue to me was if he was ever going to get the reinstatement application done. I figured a week or two after the CBA, should be enough time, and getting it in quickly would show a commitment to getting back to working with the team ASAP.

And thanks.

No, I didn't read the thread, I read the article.

Gregory failed every time in the same way, a way that no longer applies in the new CBA.
