Rumor: Randy Gregory Relapse in August

[robjay04]

Sources in Dallas thought the league would decide whether to discipline Gregory last week, before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers, but the league still is studying the case and factoring in the steps that Gregroy has taken over the past month since his setback.

More and more, in one of the interesting and quiet trends around the league, the NFL has become more tolerant when a player violates the drug policy. It has softened its stance on drug policy perpetrators. There have been multiple examples this offseason of a player having a disputed test, with the league emphasizing treatment and support rather than discipline, which was one of the NFLPA's goals when the policy was reconfigured in 2014.

Figures it would pop up now on Sunday.

Relapse as in failed test?

we know have 3 DEs on the roster,this guy continues to sink our season after season for trusting him and giving him all the help he needs.

Was Shefter. He was vague. Didn't say a test. Called it a substance related relapse.

Saw that on Gameday morning.

I love the term relapse. I feel if it was a failed drug test, why not just say that.

God I hate the media.

 

[GoJacks]

I assume this is about him going AWOL.

No bueno

D-bag reporters looking for clicks and more attention.

I would think they have enough to report on, being opening Sunday.

 

[reddyuta]

I would cut him today if its another failed test,we just cant deal with this at all.

 

[CPanther95]

Couldn't getting clean and straightening his life out be considered the relapse?

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Sooo if it was in August, why wait til right before our game to drop this news when we have already made all our roster moves??

Guess they want to keep whippin' up on Jerry.

And if it turns out to be right, you will be ghost won't you?

If it's a failed test they wont need to worry about cutting him.

 

[Batman1980]

Well, poop.

Randy Gregory suffers from Bi-polar depression which is a serious medical condition that he will battle the rest of his life. Thinking he has turned a corner and is about to become a ten year, ten sack a year guy is a fan pipe dream. I want RG to be healthy. He’s in a battle much more important than playing for the Cowboys.

And if it turns out to be right, you will be ghost won't you?

If it turns out to be right. Then I’ll say I was wrong. It’s not really that hard.

 

[reddyuta]

we should atleast kept Tapper over Danile ROss.The FO has once again been ****ed for trusting Gregory.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

If this does happen to be true, Gregory needs to just start a new life outside of football where smoking weed is acceptable by your employer. Tie it to his mental illness or whatever, but if can't get it under control there's no use in continually toying around.

 

[Undisputed]

Wonder if Gregory self-reported this to avoid a failed test? (Perhaps hoping for leniency)
