Way back in time, let’s say, oh, last week, the Cowboys were feeling pretty confident about their defensive line. They had made their first offer to DeMarcus Lawrence and expressed optimism about getting a deal done. They knew David Irving wasn’t coming back but they had the much-improved Randy Gregory on the other side and the flexible veteran Tyrone Crawford available to patch holes. That was then.
Flash forward a week and they’ve had to tag Lawrence as his camp scoffed at the team’s initial offer, and they’ve gotten the news that Randy Gregory has been indefinitely suspended.
