Veteran wideout Josh Gordon didn’t take long finding a new team after being reinstated by the NFL late last week. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reports that Gordon has already made an agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs to play for the franchise in the 2021 NFL season.

Gordon reportedly had several teams interested in his services but opted for the Chiefs as he would like to find a long-term landing spot. He will initially be part of the team’s practice squad, with his promotion to the active roster being just a matter of time.

The news about Gordon’s decision to sign with the Chiefs was confirmed to Schefter by the player’s agents, Eric Dounn and Matt Leist.

By signing Gordon, the Chiefs fill a big hole at the wide receiver position that was left with the departure of Sammy Watkins in the free agency. The All-Pro wideout Tyreek Hill remains a consistent threat, but Kansas City didn’t have weapons down the depth chart to rely on so far in the season.

The WR and returner specialist Mecole Hardman and veterans Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle all saw significant playing time throughout the first three weeks but managed to combine for just 260 yards so far in 2021.

Despite his multiple suspensions in the past several years, Josh Gordon has been a reliable target when on the field. Since entering the league in 2012, Gordon played 65 games and had 247 receptions for 4,252 yards and 20 touchdowns. His best season as a pro came in 2013 when he caught 87 passes for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns and picked up Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honors.

Seattle Seahawks’ wideout core just received a major boost. According to multiple reports, the Seahawks have re-signed former Pro Bowl WR Josh Gordon to a one-year deal.

Seahawks still haven’t made the signing official, but the news was confirmed to ESPN’s Adam Schefter by Gordon’s agent David Canter.

Gordon is currently serving an indefinite suspension, but has applied for reinstatement earlier this year and is reportedly on a good track to receive a green light for the 2020 NFL season. With that in mind, Seattle approached the 29-year-old WR earlier this week and got the deal done.

Gordon started six games in 2019 with the New England Patriots before being released midway through the season. He was claimed by the Seahawks and ended up with seven receptions for 139 yards in a limited amount of snaps.

Despite the small size sample, the Seahawks were interested in a reunion with Gordon, with the team’s head coach Pete Carroll telling reporters last month that the veteran “fit in really well” with the rest of the roster. Carroll also stated that the organization was “very open” to bringing him back.

Seahawks already have Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf locked in as starters, but Josh Gordon has a good chance of landing the No.3 on the depth chart if game-ready. He will compete with offseason acquisitions Paul Richardson and Phillip Dorsett for the spot.

If wideout Josh Gordon manages to get a green light from the NFL to play in 2020, he already has a team that will welcome him with open hands. The Seattle Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll recently told ESPN that his team would be “very open” to Gordon’s return.

Gordon spent the second part of 2019 in Seattle, catching seven passes for 139 yards in five games he played with the team. However, the 29-year-old wideout didn’t get to finish the season with Seahawks, as he was suspended indefinitely for violating the league’s policies.

Gordon applied for reinstatement last month, and if the league allows him to play again, Carroll would love to have him on his team.

“It’s not in our hands,” said Carroll. “Josh did a really good job with us last year. He fit in really well. He was part of this team by the way we opened and embraced his coming to us but also by the way he adapted. So we are very open to that thought, and we’ll see what happens. I don’t know. I can’t tell you what’s going to happen on that.”

The last year’s suspension was the fifth for Gordon in the last eight years. This is the reason why the NFL might not be so favorable towards his situation and could potentially keep him on the sidelines for the rest of the year. If that doesn’t happen, however, Seahawks might get a scary weapon as they attempt to return to Super Bowl.

Veteran wideout Josh Gordon in set on playing in 2020. According to ESPN, Gordon is currently working with the league to have his indefinite suspension lifted.

Gordon was suspended back in December after it was found that the 28-year-old WR violated the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs and substance abuse. This was the fifth time that NFL handed Gordon a suspension for similar violations and his sixth overall.

Reportedly, Gordon will now have to prove that he is abiding by the league’s rules and is making progress off the field. The NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will personally oversee the player’s reinstatement case.

Josh Gordon started the last season with New England Patriots, after his most recent suspension, which he earned in December 2018, was lifted. Gordon had a great Week 1, catching three passes for 73 yards and one touchdown, but his time on the field progressively went down after that.

Pats ended up releasing Gordon in late October, clearing the way for Seattle Seahawks to pick him up off waivers. He eventually caught seven passes for 139 yards before NFL suspended him.

If Gordon manages to find his way back into the league once again, he will be a free agent for the first time in his career. However, it appears that he won’t be doing a lot of interviews with other NFL teams as he already has his mind set on returning to Seattle.

Cleveland Browns enter the 2018 season with high hopes and determination to turn their bad luck around. They might be poised to do so, especially since their star wide receiver Josh Gordon is once again with the team. The 27-year-old previously missed the majority of Browns’ training camp in order to focus on his mental health.

There were a lot of questions surrounding Gordon since he returned, especially those considering his fitness level and ability to contribute at the start of the season. The player tried to answer some of them during his media session, saying that he is feeling great, but that is on the coaches to determine the best workload for him.

“I’m going as much as they tell me to go,” – Gordon told reporters Wednesday. “If they tell me to sit out for a period of time, I do as I’m told. It’s just great being in this atmosphere. Fortunately, I know the plays already, so it’s real good to take the mental reps, physical reps, as much as I can do I try to take advantage of it.“

But, if you ask Flash Gordon for an opinion, he will tell you that he is ready to play as soon as Sunday when Browns meet with Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.

“No, I told you guys before, I’ll be 100 percent,” – he said. “I feel 100 percent today and I’ll be 100 percent Sunday.“

Cleveland Browns will hope this is true since they would really use a healthy and fit Josh Gordon, who can get them yards and TDs at will like he used to back in 2013.
