kkuenn 3,597 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Thoughts? I know his past, but man if he kept clean he could be very good for us. NFL reinstating Josh Gordon; WR could play in Week 4, sources say 12:50 PM MT ESPN The NFL has informed wide receiver Josh Gordon that he is being reinstated, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday, with the former All-Pro expected to be eligible to play as early as Week 4. Gordon was suspended indefinitely in December 2019 for violations of the league's policies on substance abuse and performance-enhancing substances. That was Gordon's sixth suspension since the 2013 season and his fifth for some form of substance abuse, according to ESPN Stats & Information. He submitted his reinstatement letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in July, and sources told Schefter last week that the NFL Players Association gave its recommendation for his reinstatement. EDITOR'S PICKS Sources: NFLPA backs Gordon to be reinstated 10d 'Justin has given me hope for the rest of my life': Pats lineman Justin Herron's heroic act 12hRyan Hockensmith "We are grateful that the NFL appreciates the work that Josh put in and now he has earned another opportunity to be part of this league," Gordon's agent, Zac Hiller, told Schefter. "We are proud of Josh, and I know all the fans can't wait to see him on Sundays." Gordon, 30, had been conditionally reinstated by the NFL in December and was set to practice with the Seattle Seahawks in the final two weeks of the 2020 regular season before his reinstatement was rescinded in January. Sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler at the time that Gordon had experienced a setback in his recovery from substance abuse. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, when asked Friday if Seattle has interest in bringing Gordon back for a third time, said he doesn't have enough information on the reinstatement to comment, but that he believes Gordon deserves another chance to play in the NFL. Carroll said he has always "thought a lot" of Gordon. Gordon's last NFL snap was with the Seahawks in December 2019. He is vaccinated against COVID-19 and is said to be ready to play. Earlier this year, Gordon played for the Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football league with former Cleveland Browns teammate Johnny Manziel. Selected by the Browns in the 2012 supplemental draft, Gordon has appeared in more than six games only once since the 2013 season, when he led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards.

Burpo The Mad Clown 5,555 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the late 1990s bad news Chiefs experience. Plus, he’s 30. Nah. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think it could be a low risk signing to possibly light a fire under the other wrs not named Hill or Kelce. I think they did better vs Balt but competition is always a good thing and Josh is definitely talented. Will never happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I bet he could play a better LB than Niemann with a few weeks of practice. oldtimer and Lamardirts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Dude is really a wasted talent. I remember several years ago when the Chiefs played the Browns, and he dropped something like two hundred yards receiving on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesnt work out they cut him without losing much. I'm pretty sure they couldn't get much defensive help for what he would cost. Do they even test for weed anymore?

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 After watching this first half, good defenses can scheme Hill and Kelce out and the decision to not upgrade wr was a mistake. Josh Gordon needs to at least be brought in and tried out. oldtimer and ChiefThunder 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
