Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett had some harsh words for David Irving after Dallas' former defensive end was suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
“[Garrett] told me I should just quit, smoke all the weed I want, the team didn’t need me,” Irving told USA Today's Jori Epstein on Thursday. “I’m a distraction to the team."
Irving followed his suspension with an Instagram Live appearance on Thursday. The Iowa State product announced he was quitting football as he began smoking marijuana on camera.
"It's much better than that opiate s---," Irving added.
