1:39pm: Gordon’s meeting with the NFL is scheduled for Wednesday, not today, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears. This means that Gordon will not be reinstated before this afternoon’s trade deadline.
12:59pm: Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon will meet with the league office in New York City on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter links). Schefter adds that the Browns could trade his rights today if he is reinstated. 
The Browns have waffled a bit when it comes to Gordon. Earlier this year, coach Hue Jackson indicated that the team would be moving on from the troubled wide receiver. Then, as the season approached, he seemed to soften that stance. Right now, it sounds like the Browns are intent on turning Gordon into draft capital if he is allowed back into the league.
In order for Gordon to earn reinstatement, he’ll have to show that he has made significant changes to his lifestyle. For some time, it was believed that Gordon was suspended due to marijuana use. Recently, he opened up about the full scope of his issues, including the misuse of Xanax, cocaine, codeine, and prescription cough syrup.
Gordon has not played since the end of the 2014 season. He had 24 catches for 303 yards in the final five games of that campaign. In 2013, he secured First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors when he hauled in 87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns.
I really wonder if this guys capable of performing even near the level he was at after all this time off. I think it would take him some time to get back into playing condition but I have no idea. Guess we will see if he’s reinstated
He’s been working out like mad to stay in shape. I don’t think conditioning would be an issue, its getting back into an offense and getting used to taking hits that would take some time. He could still help out in a limited snap role though with his size and speed.
I cannot imagine this guy being on anyone’s radar.
Why not? He has a freakish size and speed combo and is going to cost next to nothing. If they really believe he will be reinstated there will be plenty of interested teams.
Because you can’t trust him, period. I’d imagine 1 more substance abuse violation, and he’s gone for good. Every case and player is different, but I’m sure most owners/ GMs see this as risk being much higher and likely than reward.
I highly doubt that. We’ve seen over and over that in the NFL talent trumps all and for a low round pick most teams would see that as low risk/high reward.
