I tried the read tea leaves and thought he might get less. I was wrong. Wow, no value at all this year it seems.
Regarding his statement, I find it really odd that Gordon is the one that gets to be disappointed that someone else "didn't exercise better discretion and judgment." He had a LONG time to work on that, and that is a very poor sentiment for him to have. Sure, makes you think there's more to the case, but at the end of the day, he's the one that needs to show better discretion and judgment, and definitely not judge others for theirs.

Browns WR Josh Gordon statement via the NFLPA: “I’d like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans. I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didn’t exercise better discretion and judgment in my case. I would like to sincerely thank the people who have been incredibly supportive of me during this challenging time, including my family, my agent, my union, my legal team, and the Cleveland Browns staff.”

The NFL has no control over how long it takes for the arbitrator to decide. He could have just not appealed, that would have got things started earlier.
Of course, nobody is ever guilty.

Well, to the waiver wire I go in each of my two leagues I guess

This might break the Shark Pool after that news.

I think he can reapply a month or two before the year runs - I would think if he stays clean they'll let him go to camp.
Who screwed the Browns? Seems like it was Gordon who did.

Nah, just a few hearts and minds that's all.
Sounds like Gordon is accepting it , nothing in his statment about anything else. Oh well next year. Time to drop him.

Wouldn't surprise me if the NFL intentionally screwed Gordon by waiting this long due to his attorney continually violating the rules and releasing info to help his client's PR.
Without camp and preseason next year, Gordon is pretty much toast for 2 years now. That's assuming he even complies with all the requirements of the testing now and can get re-instated in a year.
A year. If the Browns happen to make the playoffs, it could be a 20-game suspension or whatever.
I hope the arbitrator's written decision is released.

Way to own your mistake. I'd guess this won't be his last - and the next one is indefinite if I'm not mistaken.

Thought I saw that hearing will be in Nov. Wonder how the NFL will react to that case.

I believe this is already somewhat indefinite. Unless I'm wrong, he has to apply for reinstatement in a year. It's not automatic that he comes back.

and I'd think Gordon and his fans would appreciate that the arbitrator considered all of the evidence and deliberated on his decision.

I can't imagine that they're going to go easy on him with the amount of #### on his record.

You have as good a grasp on the process as you do on predicting suspensions. Let it go. This could have been over a long time ago if Gordon would have taken the contract exacted punishment for his mistake. The only reason it went so long is attributed to Gordon's choice to fight and then his defense team's actions.Leaving it this late is all on the NFLNo, Gordon did.the NFL really stuck it to the Browns.

You have some ownership to do yourself.
Temporary restraining order. If he goes that way, he'd ask the court to restrain the league from enforcing the suspension until the court has a chance to rule on whether to upset the arbitrator's decision.
