Broncos' Randy Gregory Says Cowboys Owners Acted in 'Bad Faith' in Deleted Tweet

Days after leaving the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, Randy Gregory has some very critical things to say about how the team's ownership handled the process. 

In a series of tweets that included some deleted ones, Gregory said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones "acted in bad faith" with how they tried to negotiate his contract:

After one fan replied that Gregory sounded "upset," he clapped back that it was the Cowboys "toxic fan base" that thinks he owes them anything:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday that Gregory agreed to a deal with the Cowboys that would pay him $70 million over five years with $28 million guaranteed. 

Hours after that report, Patrik Walker of CBS Sports HQ reported Gregory was backing out of the agreement to sign with the Denver Broncos. 

According to Walker, Dallas attempted to make an alteration to the deal after the two sides agreed to it. 

Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram offered some clarification on the situation:

Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Gregory's deal with the Broncos is for the same five years and $70 million that Dallas was set to pay him. 

Gregory spent his entire career with the Cowboys prior to signing with the Broncos. He was a second-round draft pick by the team in 2015 out of Nebraska.

The 29-year-old sat out the entire 2019 season because of an indefinite suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy and the terms of his conditional reinstatement. He had previously been suspended twice during the 2016 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. 

Gregory was also suspended for the 2016 playoffs and 2017 season for missing a scheduled drug test in November 2016. 

The NFL conditionally reinstated Gregory in March 2020. He has appeared in 22 games over the past two seasons. He tied his career high with six sacks and set a career high with 17 quarterback hits in 12 games during the 2021 season.
