Josh Gordon Out

Some people just never learn. It seems like this is becoming a broken record. The NFL has suspended indefinitely Josh Gordon, of the Seattle Seahawks, for violating the NFL's policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse. The league announced the suspension Monday, one day after Gordon appeared in his fifth game this season with the Seahawks.

IT really is a sad story for Gordon, as this marks his fifth suspension in the last eight years for Josh Gordon, who has all the talent in the world to be a top flight wide out, but more on that later. While playing in Cleveland, Gordon missed all of both the 2015 and 2016 seasons due to issues, and also was suspended last December for violating terms of his reinstatement, missing the final three games of the season with the New England Patriots. New England finally had enough after they got Gordon back for the start of this year, but they waved him at the end of last month. Next day, Seattle took the chance on him and had him for five games, before this announcement came down.

When he's on the field, he's got all the gifts to be able to be great. Look at what he did in Cleveland in 2013, his best year in the league. In 14 games played, he had 87 catches for 1,646 yards, which is the only time in his career he reached the thousand yard mark. I will go so far to say that he had the talent level to be able to reach the level of a guy like Antonio Brown or even Calvin Johnson when those guys were in there prime. Gordon had that kind of speed and game breaking ability.

It's just really sad to see what's become of a guy who had the world in front of him. He had all the talent in the world and it seems to be lost to the mental side of things, which is the one aspect of football that Gordon never seemed to be able to get. Talent of a great player, mind of something completely different. I do hope, for his own sake, he's finally able to get the help he needs and can get his life back on track
