Lol. That is his avatar. His hand, his beer lol. @Ranch

This is not me, and you're leaving yourself open to fingerprint theft.

 

[mcnuttz]

Eh, someone probably just reminded him of the lenient drug laws in Colorado and especially Denver.

That's wtf i'm talking about and you see how they just did Amari.

 

[Genghis Khan]

hmmm

But then we're back to, why was this a surprise if they always do it?

So it could be that Randy just wanted to go to Denver and all this last second unacceptable contact language was a huge excuse/propaganda? Maybe.

He didn't have an avatar at the time.

This is what keeps me up at night. (okay, it doesn't)

But, still, I have said 100 times, if it is standard, why did it sour things after the contract was agreed upon?

I dont think it did. I think he is just using that as an excuse.

 

[skidadl]

Then they should have presented that option up front. Not after a deal had already been agreed on. To me, it's not about the team wanting to protect itself (it should). My issue is doing it backasswards. Our inept ass FO sat down with a contract, handed it to the mofo, he said yes, and then we went, wait, one other thing. Nobody fucking does business that way. Nobody.

I’m surprised that you believe any of the reports. I take all of it with a grain of salt.

 

[boozeman]

At the end of all of this shit, I am just done and over it.

I guess this will go on for a bit until the Joneses decide to speak on it.

Even then, all we will get is nonsense.

The whole piece in case anyone is still interested...

Randy Gregory’s agent gives their version of decision to ditch Cowboys for Broncos
Posted by Mike Florio on March 15, 2022, 8:15 PM EDT


Randy Gregory and his agent, Peter Schaffer, weren’t going to get into a back and forth with the Cowboys over Gregory’s decision to not sign with Dallas but to instead jump to Denver. But since the Cowboys are complaining to reporters about what transpired, Schaffer has decided to tell Gregory’s story.

Schaffer told PFT by phone on Tuesday evening that he had negotiated an agreement between Gregory and the Broncos, and that it was basically done on Monday night. Then, the Cowboys got heavily involved

Per Schaffer, owner and G.M. Jerry Jones got Gregory on the phone to make the pitch. The Cowboys increased their offer to match Denver’s. As Schaffer tells it, the Cowboys told Gregory, “‘We love you, we will support you. This is the best place for you. We know who you are.'”

Gregory then decided not to sign with the Broncos, and to stay with the Cowboys. But next came the actual contract from the Cowboys. Schaffer said he was surprised to find language wiping out all guarantees in the event of any fine imposed by the NFL.

“No other teams have that language in their contracts,” Schaffer told PFT. “No other teams. Never in 30 years have I seen that language.”
Teams usually void guarantees in the event of a suspension. The Cowboys void guarantees in the event of a fine.

Schaffer said that the move bothered Gregory. The Cowboys had fallen behind in the negotiations, and then Jerry got personally involved. He cited the personal relationship, the familiarity.

When the Cowboys added the clause wiping out guarantees in the event of a fine, Schaffer asked them about it. Per Schaffer, the Cowboys said they use it for every contract. However, Schaffer later learned that they didn’t put that language in the Dak Prescott deal.
Schaffer said he then gave the Cowboys an opportunity to remove the language. They didn’t.

Adam Prasifka, the Cowboys’ cap specialist and contract negotiator, explained to Schaffer that the clause was included because Stephen Jones had previously told Schaffer that any contract offered to Gregory would contain standard forfeiture language. Schaffer tells PFT that none of the proposals mentioned that language, and that Stephen Jones previously declined to engage in negotiations with Schaffer, instead directing Schaffer to deal with Prasifka.

At the end of it all, Gregory was upset. Given his history of issues under the substance-abuse policy, Gregory thought the Cowboys were trying to pull a fast one by potentially setting him up for a wiping out of guarantees in the event of a mere fine.

Ultimately, the Cowboys had a chance to remove the language. They didn’t. The Broncos didn’t insist on similar language, and Gregory will sign with the Broncos after 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Nah homie.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah so the Cowboys are trash for that. I'm sorry but doing it over a fine is ridiculous and the Cowboys half assed this negotiation and delegated it some random dude.

 

[Texas Ace]

And Stephen not getting on the phone with the guy looks really bad too.

You're the asshole who is always giving his opinion on contracts and how it affects the team to every microphone they put in front of you, but you won't even talk to the agent of your most important in-house free agent?

This fucking family man......geez.

The whole way the organization operates around FA is just nonsensical.

 

[Corso]

Like Stevie-Boy is not some sort of pro.
He's family and nothing more, but he does have chemical-engineering degree.

That helps make a football team.

And then he's stuffed into being the team's CPA.

LOL
