Update:
According to Ian Rapoport, Cowboys DE Randy Gregory‘s new suspension is likely to be “at least” a 10-game ban, and there’s even some concern he may never play in the NFL again.
- Rapoport adds that there is real worry regarding Gregory, as he’s reportedly shut out some people close to him.
———-
Adam Schefter and Todd Archer are reporting that Cowboys DE Randy Gregory had another violation of NFL’s substance abuse policy and is now facing a longer suspension.
- ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that Gregory has entered a treatment facility and is not expected to report to training camp this week.
It was clear that Gregory was a major risk for an NFL team to take on last year, which led to him dropping to the end of the round two, even though he was viewed as a top-ten talent at the time.
However, this has gone even worse that the Cowboys thought and it seems like his playing career has quickly become an afterthought.
Gregory received a four-game suspension back in February for a violation of the NFL substance-abuse policy. He failed four drug tests, per the NFL’s drug policy with the first violation coming at the combine.
Gregory, 23, is in the second year of his four-year, $3.814 million contract that includes $1.404 million guaranteed. He stands to make a base salary of $525,000 for the 2016 season.
In 2015, Gregory appeared in 12 games for the Cowboys and recorded 11 tackles and no sacks.
