RANDY GREGORY

Paton: Broncos convinced Gregory's troubles are behind him

George Paton was so convinced that Randy Gregory's troubles are behind him that he ponied up $70 million for the pass rusher with a suspension-filled seven-year stint in Dallas. “We talked to a lot of people within the Cowboys organization, people who have been around Randy and his path and we felt like we knew him and then when we spoke with him, really felt good about it,” the Broncos general manager said Friday. Gregory has stayed out of trouble since being activated from the commissioner's exempt list on Oct. 20, 2020.

Seeds of hope: Cowboys alive and kicking in woeful NFC East

(AP Photo/Michael Ainsworth)ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys won a game thanks to a watermelon kick and are now 2-0 after smashing said fruit as a motivational tactic the night before each victory. Now, the Cowboys could be two playoff wins from their first run that far in the postseason in 25 years — with a little help, of course. After giving up 14 points in less than 10 minutes to start the game, the Cowboys held Philadelphia to three the rest of the way. But it was still enough to set a franchise record in points allowed with a game to go at 450. It was the most for a Dalton-led offense since the Bengals had 559 in a 31-17 win over Cleveland in 2016.

Jerry Jones optimistic on Randy Gregory's future with Cowboys

OXNARD, California - There is no question that Randy Gregory has had his fair share of setbacks off the field -- most of them by his own hand. In February, the Cowboys defensive end was placed on indefinite suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policies and the terms of his conditional reinstatement. But now, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who took a chance on Gregory with a second round pick in 2015, believes he is getting closer to his return to the field. Additionally, the Cowboys have a vested interest in Gregory's status. In April, just two months after Gregory was suspended again, Dallas extended his contract through the 2020 season.

Both will start the 2019 NFL season serving suspensions. Gregory is trying to get reinstated to the NFL after it was reported that he violated the league's substance abuse policy in February. Since the Cowboys took a chance on Gregory in the 2015 NFL draft, he has only played in 14 games. Meanwhile, defensive tackle David Irving is also serving an indefinite suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. In April, Cowboys extended Gregory's contract through 2020 but, apparently, they have no desire to re-sign Irving.
