If Josh Gordon is cleared from his latest suspension, he will have at least one known suitor. The Seahawks will attempt to re-sign the veteran wide receiver, should he be reinstated, John Clayton of ESPN 710 Seattle notes.
Gordon, 29, applied for reinstatement just more than a month ago. The veteran, however, has been given numerous chances to stay in the league. While the new CBA is more lenient regarding non-performance-enhancing drugs, Gordon’s latest suspension involved PEDs as well as substances of abuse. Just prior to the December ban, Gordon indicated he wanted to stay with the Seahawks.
The Seahawks placed a successful waiver claim on Gordon last year; they were the only team to claim the ex-Browns and Patriots receiver. Seattle signed fellow ex-New England target Phillip Dorsett this offseason but was linked to Antonio Brown for much of this year. Brown’s latest retirement may help clear a path for Gordon to return.
Playing in five Seahawks games last year, Gordon caught seven passes for 139 yards. This marks the former All-Pro’s first time as a free agent. He is one of many veterans in limbo. Teams still are not allowed to conduct visits with free agents, but Gordon must first be reinstated to join fellow high-profile veterans in that uncertain free agent group.
Not sorry, but Gordon has had WAY too many chances and continually shows he learned absolutely nothing. Add now a nice PED fail in addition to SA, whelp, nope.
Perspective, POV, it’s interesting how it changes when a controversial player comes to your own home town team, as long as he’s trying to get off PEDs I say let him play. If were a SF or LAR fan I probably would feel similarly to how you feel.
As far as THC, players should be allowed to enjoy that in their own free time. We’re in the roaring 20’s now, haha, it won’t be long before every state legalizes the product. It will happen- money talks. The West Coast states that legalized THC are making a killing. My local dispensary routinely sells out of the most popular products- they literally can’t stock the shelves fast enough!
What’s a little weed between friends?!?!
Man, imagine what his career could’ve been. What a shame
So true. Guy turned in 1500+ yards catching balls from Weeden. A focused season with a good qb would have been monstrous.
Looks like the team that called for a 1 yard pass in a SB is trying to make even worse decisions.
Don’t you go there haha- that Shiite still hurts. I had plenty of time over the lockdown to replay tons of Hawks games. I’ve watched that one about 4 times….it gets turned off with about 1 min to go every time. I’m not sure which NFL team is ‘your team’ but if it’s not the Hawks I doubt you’ll ever know that pain.
