Under the old marijuana policy, sure it would be a big risk. However under the new policy he has to test positive 3 more times before he gets even a 4 game suspension.


This is true but Gregory is still subject to more test than a player not in the system which means more chances to fail for other substances. It also means he cannot smoke anymore which he admits to doing for several years now.

That's a risk I would easily take if I think he is a top 5 talent. Again, he needs to test positive 3 more times to get a suspension. Domestic abuse/violence character flaws would scare me a whole lot more than marijuana smoking at this point.

Someone like Dorial green beckham would scare me a lot more with the incident of pushing his girlfriend down some stairs in combination with the drug tests.

ETA - I also believe the marijuana policy will again be revised in the next 5 years as the NFLPA will push for lessened penalties. Eventually it will be removed from the banned substances and will only be tested to provide help to players like in the NHL.
