Law 220 Posted September 12, 2014 This just in: Browns coach Mike Pettine expressed some skepticism Friday that Josh Gordon will rejoin the team after his eight-game suspension is through. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Friday that Gordon's ban is expected to dip from 16 to eight games pending the approval of a new drug policy. "I'll believe it when I see it," were Pettine's words. The Browns likely view anything they get from Gordon as a 2014 bonus. Fantasy owners should have the same approach. Sep 12 - 1:26 PM Ehhhh. I've already learned that this guy Pettine will never give a straight answer about anything. He speaks only in coaches speak. Not one straight answer from him about anything so far - not on QBs, RBs, nor Gordon. He is not even worth listening too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamesmmckenna 3 Posted September 12, 2014 @MaryKayCabot: Gordon will have his suspension reduced to 10 games because of the stage he was in: 4th violation equals 10 games. This is what pisses me off! With the new policy he wouldn't even have tested positive hence it isn't his 4th violation! Is the NFL completely dense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted September 12, 2014 http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/294727/report-gordons-suspension-will-be-10-games Just in: The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports Josh Gordon will be suspended ten games under the terms of the NFL's new drug policy.It's two more games than expected, but at least Gordon will be available, technically, in Weeks 12-17 for the Browns. That assumes he makes no mistakes during the ten-game ban, and no more games are tacked on for his offseason DUI arrest. We suspect fantasy owners will have a tough time hanging onto Gordon as bye-week crunches set in, but it's certainly worth trying in 12- and 14-team leagues. Gordon was already suspended for Week 1, and the Browns' bye is in Week 4, so the projected return date is Week 12. Asked Friday whether he thinks Gordon will rejoin the Browns at any point this year, coach Mike Pettine responded "I'll believe it when I see it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrbdmb 28 Posted September 12, 2014 Funny thing is, a few hours ago Schefter was sure it was eight games. So they're going to treat him as though he had four fails, even though he would not have failed under the new policy? And remember only one of his two samples was over the old limit. If he gets stuck with a ten game suspension I suspect we'll see him in court after all. Which is why I still think the NFL will cut him a break (maybe back immediately, maybe two to four weeks).

jrbdmb 28 Posted September 12, 2014 i see your point, and am not planning on dropping Gordon, but this analogy is still not exactly "the same thing." Calvin was a 1st round draft pick, a major investment by his owners, and Gordon is a waiver wire addition, and not nearly the same kind of investment. I hate this type of thinking. Once the draft is over, what you paid for a player means *nothing*. The only thing that matters is future production. Yes Megatron is worth more right now, but only because (based on current rumors) he will play 15 more games vs. Gordon playing 8. By Week 10 Gordon should be valued as a Top 10 WR.
