he is now free to smoke all the weed he wants to stay happy

 

only costs him several million, but it's not addictive

 

 

Unlike the pills that teams are willing to pass out like candy.

Is it really "stepping away" when you are bout to suspended again indefinitely??

 

Nope.  It's like quitting before you know you're about to get fired.  It was an obvious and disingenuous attempt to get ahead of the suspension announcement.  Where he goes from here is anyone's guess but he should fade into oblivion as a footnote on wasted talent.

Because Belichick is a genius and they were successful with Randy Moss once. Not so good with any other reclamation projects, though.

Remember when Scott Chandler was going to destroy us??

 

Hogan has done ok.

He got some bad advice. Did he not realize the suspension would be announced? He has no other option but to “step away”

The Patriots had no indications that troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon was facing yet another substance-abuse suspension -- one that once again casts his NFL career into doubt -- and hope to able to continue supporting him during his indefinite banishment from the league.

 

Team sources said that Gordon had been a good teammate and was well-liked by coaches, and there had not been any recent indications that he had failed any tests or had his playing status in doubt. The team's coaching staff found out on Thursday morning, within hours of Gordon releasing his statement that he would be taking a leave from the Patriots, sources said; some had an opportunity to speak to the former Pro Bowler before he left the team. The staff also did not receive word of the NFL's suspension of Gordon until Thursday as well.

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Thursday for violating the league's substance abuse policy, but there's a chance he could be back on the field for the start of the 2019 season.

 

"He would have to show the NFL and (Commissioner) Roger Goodell that he is clean for a sustained period of time," NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on "NFL GameDay Morning" on Sunday. "Could he be back possibly for the start of the 2019 season? From what I understand, it is possible, it would, of course, be a little bit quick, but it is possible for that to happen."

 

Rapoport also reported that Gordon's suspension stemmed from multiple violations of NFL's substance abuse policy.

That would be freaking ridiculous.... It's like his 5th positive test and he would only miss 2 regular season games??? He needs to be suspended for 3 years atleast.

Makes zero sense.  The collectivelly bargained diacipline for this offense is banishment from the league, but somehow they are going to change it to a coupke games?   Makea no sense.

He won't be back.  Much less for the start of the 2019 season.
