Randy Gregory to sign with Broncos, not Cowboys, in NFL free-agency flip-flop
The Cowboys tweeted and deleted.
They posted to their website and soon after removed the link.
Because defensive end Randy Gregory, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports, pivoted.
After reaching a deal with the Cowboys that was believed to be the final say on his future, Gregory instead now plans to sign with the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos offered Gregory a five-year, $70 million contract with $28 million in guarantees, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not signed.
Agreements cannot become official until the start of the new league year at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
