  • Why hasn't he been officially released yet?

  • He has until August first to prove himself. Apparently Goodell gave him until then to clean up his act and prove he can stay clean. The NFL really wants him to come back I guess.

  • I think the reason he isnt going to have his suspension lengthened is because hes not really in the NFL so the fail doesnt really "count".

    It's an indefinite suspension, he was just allowed to apply for reinstatement after 1 year.

    they must or they are just abiding by the rules set forth by the CBA. i would think that's the only reason his keister isn't on the streets looking for other work.

    the browns and the NFL must be crazy to think that now, after all this time, he will clean up his act in a 3 month span. or let's say he goes away in a box for 3 months and tests clean and is reinstated.........who's rollin with gordon given his history concerning this matter going back to HS and who knows what he was doing then? wasn't he popped like 3 times before we drafted him? and what 3 times (now with a diluted test) after?

    uh......... 😵 :wacko:

    Where'd you get this info?

    I don't think it's far fetched to think the NFL wants us to have this. Having a team this bad isn't good for the league.

    Kevin Seifert reported in an ESPN article this morning
  • Gordon can apply for reinstatement again on August 1.

    Goodell will make his decision within 60 days, so by October he could be a Brown again.

    The link is ESPN.

    But, we can assume Gordon will continue to live with Manziel and throw his life away. Party On, Garth!

    Indefinite ban, not suspension, hence the application for reinstatement.

    they must or they are just abiding by the rules set forth by the CBA. i would think that's the only reason his keister isn't on the streets looking for other work.

    the browns and the NFL must be crazy to think that now, after all this time, he will clean up his act in a 3 month span. or let's say he goes away in a box for 3 months and tests clean and is reinstated.........who's rollin with gordon given his history concerning this matter going back to HS and who knows what he was doing then? wasn't he popped like 3 times before we drafted him? and what 3 times (now with a diluted test) after?

    uh......... 😵 :wacko:

    A brief history...

    October 20, 2010 - at Baylor, he and teammate Willie Jefferson are found asleep in Taco Bell

    drive-thru. Police found marijuana in Jefferson's car. Jefferson, who was

    driving, was kicked off team because it's his 2nd violation. Gordon suspended.

    July 2011 - Gordon suspended indefinitely for failing drug test and testing positive for

    marijuana.

    August 2011 - transfers to Utah

    2012 - fails drug test. Suspended. Declares for NFL Supplemental Draft. Tell's Plain Dealer

    he's a "changed person".

    June 2013 - suspended first 2 games for violating NFL substance abuse program. Tested

    positive for codeine.

    July 5, 2014 - arrested in NC for driving while impaired. Suspended for 10 games. Plays in 5 games

    and looks like he could give less than a fuck.

    January 2015 - suspended for entire 2015 season.

    April 2016 - test positive for marijuana and dilution.

    You haters/fickle fans need to back off and give the kid a chance.

  • It cost us nothing to wait.

  • Gordon agent wants probe into who leaked the

    failed drug test.

    another lawsuit waiting to happen.

    dump the stupid bastidge, isn't worth

    trading him after he ever gets reinstated,

    for a very low 7th round draft pick,

    and that's iffy.

  • It cost us nothing to wait.

    This.

    No expectations, but might as well wait at this point.

    Add to the above the fact that he takes plays off & hangs out with Manziel.

    Come on young players...see what the Browns will tolerate if you're talented! Party Central!

    Bullshit! Send the message that, regardless of talent level, track records such as Gordon's will NOT be tolerated in Cleveland.

    IMO, it can cost us PLENTY to keep waiting.

  • Interesting article claiming his tests weren't a fail by the standards in place.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/04/12/josh-gordon-pushing-for-investigation-of-confidentiality-breach/

    The investigation is to leaking of medical records and the articles written stating its a failed test. Also we seem to be reacting to BS reports him and Manziel are rooming together. Seems that they are NOT roommates. I thinks its the media's way to stay relevant.

  • He has until August first to prove himself. Apparently Goodell gave him until then to clean up his act and prove he can stay clean. The NFL really wants him to come back I guess.

    He is talented, and other than the drugs- isn't a character risk. I could see this.

    uh......... 😵 :wacko:

    Mik- I agree- even if he tests totally clean, and gets reinstated in August- should the Browns take a chance on him? Hmmmmm. He'd probably have more value to the team than some Street FA hanger-on. My feeling- take him on, but count on him as much as you would a Practice Squad guy. He gets busted again- it's time to dump him.

  • Well, at least the decision delay has been justified.

    Very disappointing...

  • Stupidity clarification here. During 1 year suspension, Josh was tested & passed? Last months test showed THC but under league limit? Only last months test shows diluting agents were used? So a cover up (Josh) uses dilute & NFL calls it even for false reporting a failed drug test which equals to a 90 day probation period with new testing vs. life time Ban?
