I didn't get to see what he was suspended for -- I just saw on the ticker at the bottom of ESPN that he fell 1 game short of being an unrestricted FA. Could the Browns be suspending him for a non-issue to make sure he stayed a restricted FA?
As I said though -- I have no clue what the suspension was even for. Just seems fishy that he was 1 game from being a UFA and he gets hit with a team suspension.
I forget what they actually said, something like he was unreachable and showed up late for a walk through, and then showed up wearing a teammates jersey. Might have missed a film session too, I don't remember already. It came out later that he was at Johnny Manziel's house for a party the night before.
Basically if it was a franchise type player nobody would have mentioned it. If it was a starter it might have been a fine for violating team rules, maybe even not starting or suspended a quarter or something. Because the Browns can get something for it though they suspended him. Not that Gordon doesn't deserve everything he gets anyways, but it's still some shady shit that the weak ass NFLPA let's them get away with.
