Gregory missed all of 2019 and some of 2020 because of an indefinite suspension but immediately made an impact upon returning. He recorded 3.5 sacks across 10 games in 2020 and picked up another six while playing a rotational role last year. He also forced three fumbles while adding four TFLs last year. Despite the missed time, Gregory hasn't lost a step as a high-impact player. The massive deal from Dallas also ensures that he will take on a larger role in 2022.

Baalke makes Ryan Pace look smart. Not an easy task. [Reply]

Who the fuck knows at this point. I saw reports before FA that he was wanting up to $20 million a season. My guess is it would be between the Broncos and the Rams anyways. [Reply]

We need a good #2 guy that excels in the short and midrange areas.
Well... thats him
Like ARob and any other WR interested in a multi-year deal, his agent will obviously have to waste his time first, being told by a bunch of GMs that the Jags' stupidity isn't gonna net his client a bunch of extra millions, before he ends up signing.
TLDR - fucking Jags.
Not that there's any rush in UFA. The best contracts usually aren't signed on the first day. [Reply]

Who knows... he's 32 and looking at his last chance really to make a big $ contract. He can pick his spot, just depends if he wants to make good money and go somewhere to win a ring or make great money with the hope of being in position to get a third ring.
I know many in Denver want him back, but I don't know that I want them to pay top dollar for him. I hope the rumors are true that Denver wants to pursue Chandler Jones, but they're about the same age... so who knows.

The thing is, once you get into late January, you need that guy. You need ass kickers to win in the playoffs against good teams.
But to get thru the season, you need depth. It's a tough balance. [Reply]

If there's only $28 million in guarantees then you're probably looking at something like a $20 million signing bonus and base salaries of $3, 5, and 8 over the first 3 years w/ some salary guarantees in years 1 and 2. Base figures of maybe $16 and $18 in the last 2 years that can be jettisoned w/ the dead money.
So 3/$30 probably isn't right, more like 3/$36.
I mean yeah, that's stout for a soon to be 30 yr old DE w/ significant off-field concerns, but it's not quite as stupid as 5/$70 in a vacuum.
I mean it's not as reeruned as 5/$104 w/ $62 million guaranteed or anything... [Reply]

Yeah - just sit back and let the bad teams with insane amounts of cap space shoot their wads.
Absolutely nothing to be gained by jumping into the mix w/ the Jaguars on these guys. If your opponent is going to make a mistake, don't interrupt them. [Reply]

I think it's more retarded to give this dude any kind of a long term deal. Unless they have a bunch of outs in it due to off the field issues. [Reply]
