Is that an official time table or an unwritten kind of rule? I was just going by what I read in the article.

It's suppose to be official.

 

[Techsass]

It’s a dumb combination... like everything Commanders.or, the People Foursome.

Well if Baltimore can get out from the Earl Thomas contract, he might be a good fit.

Personally, I don’t think he is worth the money... if the Ravens are looking to get out of his contract, they likely agree.

EDIT: I get it man.... durrrr. I’m a dumb ***. I should have paid attention to what you highlighted.

Honest question........what you guys think is going with Gregory?

Mentioned in the article as well, he’s filed and stephen says he believes he’s met with the commissioner too, though he’s not 100% sure.

Aldon Smith is going to be huge for the defense

These guys are still a long shot.

It’s 60 days but yeah he has an official timetable, can’t have guys in the dark for years.

Here's an article I found about Gregory himself that says the league has 60 days to respond. But thanks for injecting actual policy to the victim pity party people like to throw about the Cowboys being "mistreated."

For real. I don't know why people are counting on them for ANYTHING this season having had more than a year off. I'd rather have a versatile veteran we can count on at RDE until Gregory and Smith can be rotated into the lineup.

I'm just reading the last line in the article that says this...

"Technically, the Commissioner has full discretion to decide whether players are reinstated, with no deadline for making decisions."

Yeah I see a bunch saying there’s a deadline, not sure how so many publications can not be 100% sure.

[GimmeTheBall!]

I just hope Smith is coming back as Aldon and not All Done.

Heh.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Yeah..

but we are those lily-livered..

side-winding..

low down..

good for nothing..

cattle stealing..

pinata flimsy..

Cowboys.

PS-forgot chislin and cantankorous. That aught to get it.

OK.

 

[Cebrin]

Be funny if Aldon plays the Charles Haley role and the Cowboys face the Niners in the NFC Finals.
Make a fan nostalgic...

I'll aim a little lower, and hope for playoffs at all.

Honest question........what you guys think is going with Gregory?

Same thought that's been going trough my mind,, almost a personnel beef with the **** Comish at this point when dealing with Gregory.

 

[jazzcat22]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think getting these two on the active roster will be huge for our Cowboys.

You are not wrong!

 

[fivetwos]

If nothing else he can school the youngins

 

[Creeper]

I think Anae could be a real find too and if it comes down to Anae and Gregory, I would go with Anae. I am all in favor of giving 2nd chances, but around the 4th or 5th chance, I think its time to move on. I say this as a fan of Randy Gregory and someone who hopes he makes it all the way back. But if these two are close in competition, and I can only keep one of them, it has to be Anae - although who knows, he could be a problem child too.

Anae wishes he has the physical tools Gregory has. Gregory is a freak of nature and with continued snaps was starting to come on last stint with us. I hope he’s reinstated

I agree on this. Guy was a beast. If his head is on straight I think he will really, really help.
