Already suspended for the entire calendar year of 2017, it appears Randy Gregory might never play football for the Dallas Cowboys, or any organization again. According to TMZ, Gregory failed yet another drug test, at least his seventh, and his inability to get things together is causing concern among his circle.

TMZ Sports spoke with multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation who confirmed Randy was tested on Feb. 21 and was informed on March 2 that his specimen came up positive for weed. We’re told Gregory has since blown off the NFL officials who tried to discuss the situation with him and people connected to Gregory tell us it appears his NFL career might be over.

Gregory’s four-game suspension was the result of his fourth failed test, per the league’s subtance abuse policy. His fifth failed test resulted in the 10-game ban and his sixth was the cause for his current one calendar-year ban.

Now his only chance of ever playing again might rely on the NFL changing their substance abuse policy to eliminate marijuana, but that seems unlikely to happen before the Collective Bargaining Agreement is re-negotiated. The current CBA runs through the 2020 season.

Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones reportedly made a presentation to the other league owners looking to abolish that portion of the league’s policy.

Recently, commissioner Roger Goodell spoke out about the addictive nature of marijuana and how harmful it is, saying he can’t see a situation where it isn’t penalized in the league. Ironically he never mentioned all of the other addictive substances the medical staffs of teams give players to allow them to suit up on Sundays. Players often cite pain management as a reason for wanting to smoke.

Gregory’s marijuana use first became public knowledge when he failed a test at the Scouting Combine. He has previously regarded his use as a self-medication tool for coping with being bipolar.
