God Bless that young man, he seems to be doing good, and I hope he gets all of the support he needs.

Asking for a friend. :twisted:

Agreed, I hope he can get healthy (mentally) and get his life back on track. Super cool that he sings such high praises for the PNW. Over the weekend he also tweeted asking whether he should make the trip to Whistler or go to Mt. Baker to try his hand at snowboarding/skiing. I'd shite myself if I ran into Josh Gordon on the mountain.

Pulling for this guy big time. He seems like a good dude, and he's a hell of a player. This goes beyond football.

Wish we had him in the playoffs. He has glue on his hands...or resin...something that makes the ball stick! Hope he works it out.

Of the drug policy changes he could be back. Regardless I wish him the best, always seemed like a great dude.

I doubt I'm the only one who thought "We sure could have used Gordon on that last drive" after the Niners game. Incredible hands and there is a very good chance he would have made the play had the ball went his way.

Gordon is an interesting case. Does anyone know if the NFL has explored changing their marijuana policy given all the changes taking place across states?

I believe the NFL has stated that states passing their own marijuana laws doesn't affect the CBA.................but most people think that the NFL will follow MLB's lead when the new CBA is hammered out this year, and finally allow weed usage.

The question for Gordon is would the league reverse or withdraw his suspension(s) retroactively if weed was allowed?

All in with you for Gordon pard. He's a keeper.
His suspension is " indefinitely ". That would seem to indicate it could be rescinded at any time. I'm holding out hope that is exactly what happens. Like I've said repeatedly I want to see him back working with the team. He can be a difference maker.

I've heard the owners want to use relaxation of marijuana use as a bargaining chip in the negotiations. That does not surprise me one iota.

People seem to be forgetting his last failed tests were not only for Weed, but also PED's. Weed is one thing, but the PED thing is a stickler.

I've lived my whole life in the Great Northwest, and JG ain't lyin'.
Was once told by a guy who was raised in the Southeast, & had been all over the U.S., that there's a good reason that they call it "God's Country"

More accurately Gordon could be a game changer.

He wasn't here long enough to know for sure if he is a game changer in the team's system. He did catch a few clutch slant passes and when RW has experience with him could become a game changer.

If combined in a system where RW was protected long enough to go through progressions this player could be a real asset with Lockett and Metcalf.

By "weather", I suspect he's referring to the haze hanging around Ballard.
