The Cowboys will indeed be able to keep their three-headed pass-rushing monster from last season. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cowboys are set to re-sign Randy Gregory to a five-year, $70MM deal (Twitter link). He adds that $28MM of the total is guaranteed.

The Cowboys had already made the expected move of placing the franchise tag on tight end Dalton Schultz. Gregory was named as the only other viable candidate for the one-year pact, but the team’s preference was always a long-term deal. Despite being 29, this offseason would have been his first foray into free agency, but instead he will now remain with the only team he’s played for in the NFL.
A second round pick in 2015, suspensions and injuries have been a constant in his tenure with the Cowboys. However, the team has remained committed to the talented edge rusher. He rewarded the team for their patience, recording six sacks and three forced fumbles in 2021. Alongside fellow defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and Rookie of the Year Micah Parsons, the Nebraska product was an integral part of the Cowboys’ pass rush in particular, and their takeaway-prone defense in general.
Through a number of cost-cutting moves – including, most notably, trading away Amari Cooper – the Cowboys have been able to make enough room financially to keep the bulk of last season’s division-winning team intact. While this deal’s $14MM per-year average value will eat up most of the remaining space for 2022, the team’s defense will look very similar to the one which ranked seventh in the league in scoring in 2021.
The Amari Cooper relase is starting to make sense. If the cowboys can find a decent WR in a this deep draft, and CeeDee Lamb can step up to be the #1 things should be good. Not to say Cooper won’t be missed a little but for the number 1 offense last year, things should still run fairly smooth.
Lol. Jerrah going to Jerrah. Worst deal of the off season. By FAR
Shows how much you know about football. Easily the worst deal was Christian Kirk being paid top 10 WR money. Gregory has shown he can be a disrupted force.
Lol.
What a response!
He going to be 30 yrs old hasn’t had more then 6 sacks in season muilt-drug suspensions. This is just another typical cowboys move. Lol good luck
He’s 29, and in 12 games he had 6 sacks and forced 3 fumbles. Hate all you want but maybe you should worry about Philly. Cowboys will repeat and win the division
Lol. 29, means he is going to be 30. Cowboys fans are so delusional. Win the division, get waxed in the playoffs. Rinse, Wash, Repeat
You can disrupt offensives without getting sacks. There’s a couple different ways to judge how good a pass rusher is such as “pressures” and “QB hits”.

Agreed. I thought them signing him was a good move until I saw what they are paying him.
From eagles fan whose team just spent crazy money on hassan Reddick yeah whatever you clowns find any recievers yet.
Lol. Reddick got less money and has better production. And he is younger. Cowboys fans are laughable
Oh and the multiple drug suspensions.
The dog beagles after laughable Gregory deal 7m a year guaranteed he was suspended for Marijuana not hard stuff.the eagles wr core is laughable there are better wr cores in Texas high schools.
Lol. Whatever u need to help u feel better
Kicking the eagles ass twice hanging half a hundred on them and knowing your team absolutely sucks makes me feel good.
Please mr eagle fan outside of center where you have a fossil playing name 1 position where eagles are actually better than cowboys .
Lol. Worry about McCarthy and clock management instead of the eagles
Worry about winning period before worrying about our clock management. You didn’t answer question who on your 22 is better than ours.well still waiting.i ll give you kelce that guys a fossil.
Lol now Gregory changed his mind and signed with Denver. Lol. But u worried about the eagles
Whatever
Lol. Cowboys going to cowboy
@dale123 I’ll never understand Cowboys fans… Remind me where your arrogant confidence comes from… The last time the Cowboys won the NFC East in consecutive years, they were Super Bowl Champions… Since then, the only team in this division to win it consecutively has been the Eagles, 4 times in a row to be precise. Since then, 2004, no team has repeated as division champions. If you’re not concerned with the Eagles, your head is clearly stuck somewhere where the sun doesn’t shine
Oopsie
You speak too soon.
Looks like broncos did worst deal in offseason
Not a bad deal for the Cowboys. Only 28 million guaranteed so doesn’t tie up their cap. He’s an impact player when he’s on the field.
Updated Spotrac figures say Cowboys still have 23 million cap space.
Whatever eagles scared to death of micah
