THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, August 27, 2014, 1:03 PM A A A 4 9 2 Share this URL Evan Vucci/APThe Cleveland Browns will be without the services of All-Pro WR Josh Gordon in 2014. CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns star wide receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended by the NFL one year for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Gordon’s suspension is effective immediately and he will miss the entire 2014 season. He will have to apply for reinstatement following the season. Gordon had appealed his yearlong suspension and met with a league arbitrator in New York on Aug. 4. Arbitrator Harold Henderson upheld the suspension. The Browns have been waiting four months for a resolution on Gordon’s case. The 23-year-old led the league with 1,646 yards receiving last season despite being suspended the first two games for a failed drug test. He became the first player in league history to record consecutive 200-yard games. Gordon’s loss is a crippling blow to Cleveland’s offense, depriving the Browns of their best big-play threat. He averaged 18.9 yards per catch in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWC611 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 On a separate note... This kid needs help. Maybe he needs a mentor like a Chris Carter who has been through this and was able to have a great carreer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
