I give up lol Twitter links never work for me. Apparently it was mentioned by Clayton during the 4pm segment with Wyman and Bob.. 2/19/2021

Guess he’s now signed for (probably vet min) through 2021

13:40 mark is where it starts. Ursua and Gordon both resigned for 2021

Waste of a roster spot.

He's not on the roster while suspended, and he only takes up a roster spot down the road as long as he is active and contributing. This is minimal risk for the Hawks as long as Gordon isn't a negative influence on other players.

Cut him loose. He's not worth it anymore.

 

[pittpnthrs]

People still paying attention to that guy?

He's not taking up a roster spot.

Cut him loose. He's not worth it anymore.

Not worth what?

Just heard the news. Per John Clayton.

Dude was supposed to come back and now is out again "indefinitely" again.

It doesn't cost us to sign him but c'mon, if he's let off again, that same situation could happen regardless of how the club feels about it.

AFAIK, I don't think JG is a daily hardcore user. Personally I've always felt like he was like many players in the league or many of us who enjoy a drink or a toke. Thing is he's under intensive indefinite probation/drug tests that really many normal adults wouldn't pass let alone someone with a more intensive problem.

So he's a good guy and all, but he's not going to be that ideal 12 stepper type worried about no vanilla extract and making sure his cold remedies are alcohol free for his football life, which might be the only way he could make it. He's not going to be that guy and while it is unfair that he sort of is, we have no advantage in keeping him.

Just let himm go.

Things have to be "really slow" in Seahawk Land when all we have to discuss is Josh Gordon.

Until there is some official announcement I will hold off from being excited by this situation. Perhaps he just rolled his contract upon the request of the team as it’d be doubtful there would much of any interest in him around the league.

JG is a talented player but a flawed individual and it’s a no risk/high potential reward situation keeping him around to see if he will be re-instated by the league. So far Ursua is JAG from what we’ve seen up to now, he was pretty amazing in college though for the team to draft him late.

It's obvious to me there is more going on then meets the eye, the Seahawks know there is an issue with the NFL and must me trying to resolve it or they would not have opted in so soon to resign him.

This story is strange at best.

 

[jammerhawk]

True that!

The wonderful world of life with drugs.

I’m sure there are zero breaks afforded him by the NFL and the whole drug testing thing is frequently questionable. Suspect the team knows more than the league about this guy.

I would be happy to see this player “break on through to the other side” and be as great as his physical talent would let him be.

 

[FresnoHawk52]

90 man roster let’s see if he can make the team!

Bob Condotta tweeted earlier today that Gordon was not signed.

Waste of a roster spot.

Agree.

 

[Appyhawk]

Disagree...pending league info on what caused the last rescinding offense. Players may be bound by a "no comment' clause which, by making public statement, could be construed as not meeting leagues requirements. Because Gordon commented on his training and rehab arrangements he may have violated that clause resulting in the league returning him to the dead list. However, if he failed another drug test (which would mean he lied about getting that part of his life turned around) then I agree he should not be considered for reinstatement.

Yep. This is the part everyone is missing by jumping to conclusions. We haven't got a shred of information from the NFL about his return to the list, which is highly unusual for a cut-and-dry substance abuse relapse situation.
