32EBoozer Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What a Waste of Talent 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. [+] Enlarge Scott Cunningham/Getty ImagesJosh Gordon has failed another drug test and is now subject to a one-year suspension, according to league sources. 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. Gordon ended the season in controversy when, on Dec. 27, he was suspended for the final game 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." His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, could not be reached for comment. Gordon caught 24 passes for 303 yards in five games this season. He led the NFL with 1,646 yards in just 14 games in the 2013 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnT Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Josh Gordon Faces 1-Year Ban for Failed Drug Test: Latest Details and Reaction Scott Cunningham/Getty Images Matt Fitzgerald Jan 25, 2015 Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon may not get another chance in the NFL after failing another drug test. ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported news of Gordon's latest off-field misstep on Sunday: ProFootballTalk.com added further details: Bleacher Report's Matt Miller weighed in on the situation: Former Cleveland tight end Benjamin Watson reached out on Twitter to express concern for the troubled All-Pro receiver: Gordon led the NFL in receiving in 2013, but a string of bad decisions saw him suspended for two games that year and 11 games this past season. Those suspensions, save for being held out of this year's season finale for a violation of team rules, were a result of substance abuse. The 23-year-old Gordon's failure to abide by league rules might cost him a promising career. This is just the latest unfortunate development for a Browns franchise that needs any positive momentum it can muster. The offense is in relative disarray with a sixth different offensive coordinator in as many years in John DeFilippo and a quarterback situation that’s yet to be solved, in part due to Johnny Manziel’s own questionable decisions away from the gridiron.

DaBallhawk Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Smart move. The Browns will probably release him now, he gets one year off to enjoy life and next year he can be on any team he wants to be on (well the majority) and get paid again. After a good season he's gonna break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If smoking weed takes precedence over your career, your future, and the possibility of elevating you and your family's living conditions for generations...after numerous chances...yes, it may very well be a mental issue.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If we suspend Josh Gordon, aren't we suspending our institutions in general? And if we're suspending our institutions in general, aren't we suspending our entire society? Do what you want to do to Josh Gordon, but I'm not going to sit here and listen to you some of you badmouth the United States of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between him and Stallworth is that Gordon was lucky his drunk ass didn't kill someone. Gordon's problem isn't just that he smokes weed. You're right, 100%. Drinking and driving is a very stupid thing to do. And I definitely jumped the gun in assuming it was weed again. Still, the league had its on him/he's on probation or whatever because of weed. I find that to ve insane. You know who should be able to have a gripe about weed? The team that pays him, because let's be honest, its the opposite of a performance enhancer. In 10 years (hopefully) we're going to look back on the past 40 years or so with disgust. Prohibition didn't work the first time and its not working bow.
