Earlier this offseason, after the Cowboys signed defensive end Aldon Smith, they had to wait on commissioner Roger Goodell to reinstate him from suspension. That process moved along smoothly and that gave many hope that the same would happen for defensive end Randy Gregory. So far, that certainly hasn't been the case.
It was roughly a couple of months ago when we were told that Gregory's reinstatement was in the works, and with a new CBA that was much more lenient with marijuana penalties, there was genuine hope that Gregory would soon be back. There has been no word from the league on the issue, and now there is a report that the Cowboys have basically given up on the idea of Gregory being reinstated.
