The NFL announced the suspension of Gordon on the second day of the Seahawks’ ‘Week 15’ game last season, so he would have been effectively banned for a year. Sources said it was a mystery to both Seahawks and Gordon why the league takes so long to make a decision. Gordon’s team applied for reinstatement in mid-June, hoping to be re-arranged for training camp.
He re-signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in September. The deal with Seattle includes a 10 910,000 base salary, a પછી 52,000 roster bonus after a restoration and a 80 80,000 per game roster bonus, according to a source.
He was suspended indefinitely last December for violating the league’s policies on performance-enhancing substances and abusive substances. ESPN According to statistics and data, this was Gordon’s sixth suspension since the 2013 season and his fifth for some type of substance abuse.
Gordon’s attorney, Adam Kaner, confirmed to ESPN in June that Gordon’s latest suspension was the result of a shock following the death of his brother last fall. Gordon tweeted about losing his older brother on November 11 last year, the day he entered the C.C.
29, Gordon, adds to Seattle’s huge receiver corps firepower. DK Metcalf leads the NFL in achieving yards (1,039), while Tyler Lockett (771) ranks 16th. David Moore, Rookie Freddie Swain and Penny Hart have been in the team for 3, and the receivers have been in the order. Free-Agent Edition Philip Dorset is on the injured reserve recovering from leg surgery.
Gordon, who caught seven passes for 139 yards in five games last season with the Seahawks, claimed a one-time pro bowler after being released from an injured reserve by the New England Patriots in November.
Gordon missed the 2015 and 2016 seasons as a member of the Cleveland Browns and was suspended in December 2018 for violating the terms of his reinstatement, leaving him missing in the final three games of the season with the Patriots.
He was suspended for the first two games of the 201st season but passed 87 touchdowns and nine league-leading 1,646 yards for nine touchdowns and was named to the All-Pro team.
Gordon has only played 63 games since being selected by the Browns in the 2012 supplementary draft. Overall, he has 247 passes at 4,252 yards – an average of 17.2 yards per catch – and 20 touchdowns.
