You do realize that Gregory sucks, right?

Good lord, what a massive waste of a contract. I had reservations when they signed the guy, and they were accurate. Signing this bum when Hassan Reddick was available was inexplicable, and inexcusable.

Pass rusher? Considering what we’ve seen the last two years I’d say you’re using that term loosely.

He’s been greatly outperformed, and we’ll need the cap space in 2 years haha.

Not for Randall it isn't.

More context...

Damn makes Paton look even worse, signed a injury prone pass rusher for a shit ton only to try and trade him and get no takers what a chump....cant wait till he is gone.

I didn't think he was that good.

Wonder if they even tried to trade him. I'm sure he could have fielded a 5th rounder.

Just read the rest of the thread. He'll sign with someone. I'm predicting the Chiefs.

The real question this chart raises - why would you waste a double team on RG?

Gotta say, great timing by the raiders in cutting Chandler Jones.

Before the league could fully digest and meme another McDaniels **** up, George Paton jumps right in: "Hold my beer, Josh."

I wonder if George has a favorite corner in his office where he can huddle down and cry into his cap spreadsheets.

The Denver Broncos released veteran pass rusher Randy Gregory on October 5 in another move that reflects poorly on general manager George Paton.

Gregory’s release was the latest in a string of high-priced free agent additions made by Paton that failed to pan out. One Denver radio personality is ready for Paton to be held accountable for his missteps.

Paton’s signing of Gregory had “warning signs written all over it,” according to Zach Bye, host of “The Drive” on Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan.

“Before Randy Gregory ever came to Denver,” said Bye in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter. “He had already missed more games than he had ever played as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. That’s not over the course of one or two years, this was a half-decade sample size.”

The 49ers likely did this just to prevent Dallas from signing him. All good with me.

Unfortunately not... But better than nothing.

Per Florio, looks like the Broncos will pay everything this year minus the prorated veteran minimum. Technically, this move saved some cap.
