I want no part of this. At what point does he let you down again with childish behavior?
Not sure what you mean by childish behavior? He has problems with pot, which is basically a non issue with the new rules. He's never been a locker room problem.
I'm going to guess he has ongoing issues with more than just pot. He's said himself he's had issues with codeine, alcohol, and xanax in the past.
Since then, he's been suspended multiple times. For privacy issues, the NFL cannot come out and say what the substance abuse or PED use was, so players can tell the public it was just pot or adderall use and the NFL cannot correct their statement. Heck, the league probably wouldn't want to even if they could. It's easier for the public to accept substance abuse of pot than other more hardcore drugs.
Also, from reports I've heard, include the Seahawks PR, Gordan last suspension was for both Substance Abuse AND PEDs, when the 1st five suspensions was solely substance abuse, so it's not just substance abuse he's working through.
Gordan has some issues to work through and though he might not be a "locker room problem" you have to actually be in the locker room to make a difference, not suspended sitting at home. FWIW, I'm 50-50 on wanting him back. Obviously he's a talented player, but he's hard to rely on for an entire season.
