This week is off to a hot start what with Zack Martin and the Cowboys finalizing a long-term extension for the best guard in football. If possible, things might be going even better than that.
The word might is an important one as we’re talking about defensive end Randy Gregory. The technically fourth-year defensive lineman (isn’t that insane?) has been battling suspension issues for basically the entire Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott era, and he’s looking to re-join the Cowboys.
