Josh Gordon failed another drug test

[Scooby-Doo]

Because it's not a PED. I'd rather have these guys at home stoned vegging and playing X-box than at the bars and causing trouble. Do you really want the league fo playing morality police?

The problem is, they aren't at home vegging out playing X-box. They are at the club getting wasted then driving home and endangering everyone else's life.

Let's put the blame on the player for drug related offenses not the league.

Josh Gordon Flunked Another Drug Test

Faces 1 year suspension.

He may appeal but I highly doubt it will work.

When will this guy learn?

 

[redseat]

But I am sure no one cares about this or will make this out to be a big deal.

 

[Voltaire26]

He had my sympathy for the last suspension ... It was way to harsh. But WTF is this guy thinking?

 

[redseat]

He isn't thinking nor does anything the league "dishes" out has any affect on this guy. I think he has used up all his lives with the NFL, yet he keeps on getting let back.

 

[Anointed One]

I feel for Brown's fans... They have two of the biggest idiots in the league on their team, currently... In two years, both of those guys' could be out of the league...

 

[redseat]

and BOTH players have absolutely NO one else to blame but themselves! Although some will try and say the league is out to get Gordon

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

He failed for alcohol....

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Josh, there's a time to smoke weed and enjoy yourself; smoking weed while playing in the NFL is not one of them- mkay?

He failed for alcohol, you ignorant moron.

 

[redseat]

He failed for alcohol....

Alcohol is a drug..... But you are correct not hard core drugs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Major idiot.

Josh Gordon of Cleveland Browns facing one-year suspension after failing another drug test - ESPN

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has failed another drug test and now will be subject to a one-year suspension, according to league sources.

Gordon tested positive for alcohol, a source said, confirming a report by Pro Football Talk. The failed test is the latest in a long line of setbacks for Gordon, whose future in Cleveland and the NFL now will be in question.

"Clearly we are very disappointed to hear the latest report regarding Josh," a Browns team spokesperson said. "At this point, due to the confidential nature of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, we have not been made aware by the league of a failed test. We are in the process of gathering more information and will provide further comment at the appropriate time."

Gordon was arrested on July 5, 2014, and charged with driving while impaired after speeding down a street in Raleigh, North Carolina. Gordon was previously suspended for the first two games of the 2013 season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Gordon ended this season in controversy when, on Dec. 27, he was suspended for the final game of the season for violating team rules. He would have been suspended for all of 2014 were it not for a new drug testing and punishment policy the NFL implemented that allowed him to return after missing the first 10 games.

He entered the NFL after being dismissed from Baylor for a failed marijuana test. Gordon later told the Houston Chronicle: "It was against school policy, of course, and I was [suspended] in the summer. I've definitely put that part of my life behind me. I don't plan to ever go back there. It was a difficult time, but I learned from it, and I've moved on."

How many millions did that buzz cost


Due to his latest suspension, Josh Gordon's contract will be tolled through the 2016 season, and he will only be eligible for restricted free agency in 2017.
This assumes the Browns don't cut Gordon. If they hold onto his rights -- doing so wouldn't count against Cleveland's roster limit -- Gordon will be signed for 2016 and eligible for the Browns to "tender" in 2017. All of this also assumes Gordon commits no violations during his year away. His contract will continue to be "tolled" as long as he's suspended

He was due 1 mil next year

Rosenhous unable to comment.... Who is more of a douche.... Gordon or him?

 

[nebearsfan70]

Gordon is just one dumb fucker. He doesn't deserve to play.

 

[redseat]

Will he really be suspended for a year?

 

[redseat]

Hammer - I appologize for creating a duplicate thread... Didn't see this one....


But can't you merge all the deflategate crap related threads into one as well?

We were talking about weed. I'm pretty sure that they don't serve that at bars in the U.S.

 

[Iggloo]

I think the question for Cleveland at this point is, do you cut this guy?

He is clearly not reliable, and part of a bad locker room culture they have along with Manziel.

I cut Gordon, trade Manziel to Jerry Jones.

He failed for alcohol, you ignorant moron.

Weed smeed. It really doesn't make a difference to me here given the gravity of alcohol and weed are functionally the same in this suspension. Now, if you fail to see how the point is functionally the same here, I can't help you.
