Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon is still living in Seattle and working out, according to a recent post on his Instagram account.
Gordon hauled in seven receptions for 139 yards in five games with the Seahawks last year. His tenure was cut short by a six-game suspension, handed down after he tested positive for a banned substance and a masking agent.
While the league altered the CBA to no longer suspend players who test positive for marijuana, they did not automatically reinstate anyone currently serving a suspension, and Gordon’s also involved performance enhancing drugs, complicating the issue.
Still, the 29-year-old receiver is hoping to return to the NFL in 2020, and while he has yet to be reinstated, he is doing all his offseason work right here in Seattle, and a reunion between the two sides makes a lot of sense on paper.
Gordon will still have to miss the first two regular season games to finish out his suspension, but he would be eligible to participate in training camp and the preseason, giving him plenty of chances to get his legs under him.
With Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Phillip Dorsett all in the mix, the Seahawks wouldn’t need Gordon to contribute big time snaps right away, and he could just be another weapon for Wilson – easing the pressure on the former Pro Bowl wideout.
With Aldon Smith recently getting reinstated, there’s reason to believe Gordon’s time could be coming, and it sure looks like he’d prefer to play his next NFL games right here in Seattle.
