    So what’s the deal I’m reading that he might not be fully reinstated by the league. 

    Didnt he get reinstated for the last 5 games last year? 

    Did he do something in the off season that he has to be reinstated again?

    Any player given “did not report”  status has to file for reinstatement. Standard procedure.

      As said, it's just a formality- as long as he's tested clean...

        Gordon is like a ticking alarm clock.  When wil he return to the team?  When will he practice?  When will he play?  When will he Shmuck up? When will go away?  So much drama with a guy that has played 5 games in the last 2 years.

            Can a team hire a chaperone?

            I’m pretty sure the Bengals had one for Pac-Man Jones and the WR that flew out the back of the pick up truck while he was trying to beat his girlfriend. Worked 50/50 in that case. 

            Dallas had one for someone at one point too I believe.  

            If I’m Hue, I’d hire one or a whole team of guys. Even if it cost me out of my own pocket.

            That was Randy Gregory. I’d say it didn’t go well, but he’s playing again, faster than it took for Flash to get back.

                  Damn. He did miss a season. Now I remember, I was just surprised he didn't spend much time in jail. I'd still be locked up if I did that.

                  I was thinking Ray Lewis, but he wasn't actually charged with murder, so he just got fined

                    with the wr corp we currently have i dont see the need to rush him. And i mean dez might still be on the table who knows.

                    all this is up to landry imo. If landry says he can work with josh and dez, bring dez in. But if landry thinks either of em is the ball cancer........bye

                    It will be up to Hue & Dorsey. But, as I (and others) pointed out before- with Josh back where does (according to the Cowboys lost a step) Dez fit in? #1 Josh, #2 Callaway, slot Landry, #3 Higgins. Yeah, we have the money to buy a very expensive insurance policy in Bryant- but not if he's going to be whining he's not getting enough balls thrown his way. There's a reason he's still unemployed.

                          Josh winning the starting job won't be immediate, and will obviously hinge on his knowledge of the offense more than anything else. His conditioning won't as good as other receivers, but it also won't be terrible either. The main issue will be whether or not he's a liability to our offense. Running the wrong routes, timing problems, etc. He's missed all of training camp so far, and that's not a minor thing, but let's also not forget that he was in the facility for minicamp and OTA's for the first time in his career. That has to count for something. 

                          In terms of winning the starting position, as long as he knows the offense, it obviously won't be an issue. As good as Higgins has looked, he's a far cry from Gordon. When I watched who Baker was throwing to against Buffalo, I couldn't help but think, "How would he be doing with our starting WRs?" 

                          Good luck Josh. You have more support than you know.

                            Precisely!   If Dez had anything left, he would have never made it to Cleveland.  When his biggest fan on the planet (Jerruh) says "Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out" - it wasn't just the lost step or 2.  It was all the finger pointing, calling out Garrett's faves and being a Twittiot. 

                            If we're going to go with infectious - we already brought in the right kind of it with Jarvis Landry.  Why mess with that?  

                            Just an idea.  Larry Fitzgerald's career got jumper cabled when it appeared he was losing a step and Arians moved his veteran savvy/size to the slot. BABOOMBA!  Joe Jurevicius came here and in 2007 - we used his size advantage in the slot to our advantage especially on 3rd downs in particular.  Randy Moss was a rookie of the year in the Slot with Carter and Reed on the outsides.  So, Landry has been lining up outside a lot especially in training camp practices.  Why not move Gordon to a simplified world of facing 3rd corners where he can run slants, posts, flags and drags?   And how often is a 3rd corner just a little bit shorter/lighter than the 2 ahead of him in terms of the size advantage Gordon would have?  It seems like we should put our change of direction guys on the perimeter where they offer us the ability to run every route in the playbook.

                            The Safety attention Gordon and Njoku would command should prevent defenses from giving extra attention to Landry and Callaway/Higgins...

                              When I read the title of this thread I thought somebody was a couple weeks late in honoring your return.

                              I was gonna say, he's been called a lot of things and Flash isn't one of them.  Speaking of late, glad to see you back and in regular season form already.

                                Gordon is like a ticking alarm clock.  When wil he return to the team?  When will he practice?  When will he play?  When will he Shmuck up? When will go away?  So much drama with a guy that has played 5 games in the last 2 years.

                                Hopefully he will help win a game or two while he's still on the active roster before the next inevitable departure......

                                  JG is the man. Really hoping he can dominate the league again like he has in the past.

                                  josh gordon dominated the league for one season  5 years ago....in the ten or so games he has played since then, he has been mediocre

                                    Josh has what it takes, I am glad he is back, He will be our number 1. Laundry at number 2. I am behind this team no matter how much you guys want him to fail.

                                      Callaway is having groin issues so Gordon better step up.

                                        I don't want him to fail, I just think he will.

                                          He dominated his matchups last year too. We simply didnt have any one who could throw the ball to him. His conditioning is light years ahead of the year he dominated. We have 2 QB's who are accurate with plenty of arm. He is about to bitch smack every DB in the division.
