In a shocking development. Randy Gregory’s reported new 5-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys is no more. The free agent defensive end will now be signing with the Denver Broncos.
Barely an hour after the news of his return to the Cowboys was made public, now it appears something went awry in the finalization and the deal is off the table.
And so it’s the #Broncos — not the #Cowboys — that are in agreement with Randy Gregory. My understanding is Dallas insisted on contract language that Gregory did not like protecting themselves. So he heads to Denver.

The Randy Gregory reversal to the #Broncos was 100-percent a matter of the #Cowboys tinkering with contract language at the last moment. Like it or not, you can’t come in with that maneuver when there’s another team on hold, just waiting for an opening.

This leaves the Cowboys in need of a starting edge. They could be looking into re-signing Dorance Armstrong or pursuing other free agency options.
But for whatever reason, Randy Gregory’s story will no longer be told in Dallas.
