Raiders' David Irving Says 'I Hated Going to Work for the Cowboys'

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end David Irving had a 2020 season to forget on the field, but he probably qualifies the year as a success since he was no longer employed by the Dallas Cowboys.

"I hated going to work for the Cowboys," Irving said to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. "A Cowboy is allhardy har harand all this America's Team stuff. I belong in Las Vegas with the Raiders."

Irving spent four seasons in Dallas before abruptly retiring from the NFL in March 2019. Having received an indefinite suspension from the league for violating the substance-abuse policy, he made his retirement announcement while appearing to smoke marijuana.
