DALLAS — Randy Gregory has changed his mind.
After initially agreeing to a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys (and minutes after the official team Twitter account acknowledged the deal had been struck in a since deleted tweet), the defensive end has now agreed to terms with Denver and will be headed to the Broncos in free agency, according to The Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken.
Gregory’s new deal with Denver is reportedly worth the same value the Cowboys offered — five years, $70 million and a $28 million guarantee.
According to Charles Robinson, senior NFL writer for Yahoo, the decision to flip from Dallas to Denver stemmed from the Cowboys attempting to change some of Gregory’s contract language at the last minute. The adjustment was apparently enough to dissuade Gregory from returning to the Cowboys and look elsewhere.
